Authoritarian dystopia based on a Biological Communism that has created Homo Uniformis (Man Alike Throughout). They live in a flawed utopia (no passion, violence, or doubt) and meet primitive descendants of Homo Sapiens on the planet Lysenka II, named after Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (1898-1976), Joseph Stalin's director of biology, who believed the newly acquired characteristics could be passed on to descendants, a position generally rejected by geneticists.
