✦ Synopsis

L'antichissima aspirazione umana di creare una razza perfetta ritorna in questo romanzo biologico di Robert Heiniein, uno scrittore che ha sempre avuto un debole per le utopie basate però su ingegnose estrapolazioni scientifiche. Qui, in questa Terra del lontano futuro in cui tutti o quasi i problemi della sopravvivenza e della convivenza sono stati risolti, la blanda burocrazia che governa gli uomini si preoccupa non tanto di progettare dei semidei, quanto di selezionare e riprodurre certi caratteri genetici indispensabili alla specie, attraverso un delicato, complicato gioco di equilibrio tra psicologia ed elettronica, tra istinti e statistiche. E un terreno minato, nel quale le cose possono ad ogni momento sfuggire di mano ai programmatori, degenerare in follie razzistiche o al contrario dar luogo a positivi, stupefacenti progressi.
