agoraphobia dark dna featured future genetic-engineering genetics isolation modification mutation newadult scfi science sciencefiction thebookerawards

Genetic modification has changed the fabric of society. Birthing rights, job opportunities, insurance policies, and school admissions all depend on the value of your DNA. The rich elite pay for their children to be brilliant and beautiful and brave. They live in wealthy Districts and watch as the rest of the population are forced to inhabit poverty-stricken Slums. But, everything is not as it seems; some aspects of the genome are better left untouched. 

For years, behavioral disorders have been correlated to specific genomic features. Unique methylation patterns indicating sociopathy, and psychopathy. Transcriptome commonalities between pyromaniacs, and violent criminals. To house these genetic deviants and keep their cities safe, the Districts rely on rehabilitation centres. During her yearly DNA test, Willa Reyez's is deemed sociopathic. After years of isolation she is forced to learn her own truth. After all, correlation does not imply causation.All Rights Reserved

After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy.

When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse.

She's transported to The Farm to be with others of her kind, but when she sneaks from the compound one night, she meets a boy, a human boy, seemingly unaffected by the radiation, who reveals a wild conspiracy theory about the genetic modifications and the very nature of the magnet field failure.
