BOOK 1 // Human Error (COMPLETE) BOOK 2 // Human Instinct (IN PROGRESS) *NOW OPTIONED FOR A TV SHOW* "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness engineered right into their DNA." - William Shakespeare, 1602 (adapted for BioPlus) Astrid Oxford is not normal. Two hundred years into the future, society is recovering from global collapse, and genetic modification has saved the remaining population from a hunger crisis. The alteration of human DNA has been illegal since the technology was developed, but in the heart of New London, a sinister trend has emerged among society's elite. Designer children have been the city's best-kept secret for years, but strange side effects are now appearing as they hit adolescence. When a freak suicide forces modification into the public eye, eighteen-year-old Astrid is about to learn how difficult it is to stay under the radar when you really were born to stand out.

15-year-old Erik Morris is beginning his freshman year of high school at The Ducharme School: a specialty school, following being held back the previous year due to struggles with learning disabilities. Despite initially feeling entirely alone, Erik stumbles across deaf classmate, Leo Soluri, who he quickly begins to feel close to--despite their language barriers--forming a connection like he has never before experienced.

A 12-year-old girl is growing up in a lab, where she was created. But there is something extraordinary about her. She has wings. The scientists have been doing tests on her since she could remember. But not anymore, she is constantly at battle with not only the scientists, but also with the voice they implanted in her head to wash away her memories every time she so much as thinks of rebellion. She has become stronger, however, and she will no longer stand for how she is being treated.
