The Final Flaw - Michael R Sullivan

. .

Résumé :

Our flaws define us, what happens when they are gone?

In the near future, genetic defects will soon be a thing of the past. Every child is born using The Template, a revolutionary invention ensuring health and happiness. Its success brought about Mendelium, the largest technology company in the world, which now controls humanity's genetic future via a board of directors.

Charlie Lamarck, an engineer with Tourette's syndrome, is working to create a better life for future generations when he's suddenly thrust into a position of power by Gerhard Geller, the eccentric CEO who has taken a liking to him-perhaps too quickly.

Charlie's differences have brought success into his life, and he's skeptical of a world without flaws. Now, he faces a choice.

Should Charlie work to change the future, or will he be part of the last generation shaped by their own genetic disadvantages?

Compelling, genuine, timely, and unforgettable: The Final Flaw is a gripping exploration into our differences and what makes us unique as human beings. This thought-provoking novel underlines the positives of neurological diversity and paints an all-too-realistic future of the corporatization of genetic technologies.
