Genetopia is the story of a young man in search of his possibly abducted sister in a far future where nano- and biotechnology have transformed and accelerated the evolution of humans and their strangely altered surroundings. In this world, you can never take anything - or anyone - at face value. Illness and contact with the unknown are always to be feared, as viruses reengineer genes and germ cells, migrating traits from species to species through plague and fever. Humankind lives in isolated communities, connected by trade routes and always fighting to keep the unclean at arm's length.
But if Flint is to find his sister, he must brave the fevers, the legendary beasts, the unknown. He must enter strange communities and seek help in the most unlikely places. He must confront both his own dark past and the future of his kind. He must go into the wildlands.

About the book >.>.> The village: a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone else. Here, houses can be grown out of the dirt; livestock and the subhuman mutts can be changed into some- thing else, something other, and fleshy, dras- tically mutated Oracles guide humankind on the delicate path of survival. The wildlands: the land between human set- tlements where animals that are not animals live among plants that are not plants, and people who might not be people live in fear of human intervention. Out here organic Als grow in the wildlands, either worshiped or feared; trees sing to each other; and tempting, dark fruit hangs from the branches. Out here nothing can be trusted, nothing is necessarily as it seems, and no sane human would ever want to set foot. Out here is Flint's missing sister. Genetopia is the story of a young man in search of his possibly abducted sister in a far future where nano- and biotechnology have transformed and accelerated the evolution of humans and their strangely altered sur- round.
