This book
is not about sentient corn of any kind.
No zombie corn, no ravaging corn cobs.
The book is about near future genetically manipulated people and the
issues it creates.
The plot
resonates well with the almost daily breaking news of some other illness that
can be alleviated or eliminated with genetic manipulation. It isn’t too far fetched to imagine designer
children or animals. Jurassic Park
doesn’t hold a monopoly on the frightening consequences of altered genes.
A sub-plot
is also clear that the have and have not situation may create a whole new
discriminatory slate.
In addition
it is made clear that a parent desperate to live vicariously through a gene
altered super child may not always find a child with the same goal as the one
in which the parent hopes to revel.
This was well done with a wealth of thought provoking
scientific and ethical postulates.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
