The novel is set in a dystopian future where anything that does not fit the currently acceptable ways of thinking is treated as an illness. Everyone is on medication, and those considerable untreatable are labelled “Anti-Social Persons” and dumped in the wastelands. Even “Normals” are considered likely to have variant genes and natural childbirth has been outlawed, and “Normal” women who want a child are implanted genetically modified embryos. The long, involved plot focuses on a “Normal” woman with an implanted embryo and an “Anti-Social” man who has gotten his girlfriend pregnant. |
