ABSTRACT

For anyone concerned with notions of justice or equality, Lee Silver’s vision of the future is an alarming one. His Remaking Eden begins with a snapshot of 2350, by which time humanity will be divided as never before: ‘The people of one class are referred to as Naturals, while those in the second class are called the Gene-enriched or simply the GenRich. . . . The GenRich are a modern-day hereditary class of genetic aristocrats.’1
