A pretty entertaining dark-future novel, with elements of Gattaca and Brave New World, but all set a bit closer to the present (and very close to home). The book is one of those written from the perspectives of different characters, which works well in this type of story to give you an understanding of how different parts of society are affected by the main premise.... That voluntary genetic modification allows the rich to build designer children, while the poor are left with 'unimproved' children, who become an underclass in a new caste system, subject to prejudice and with parallels in modern societies where we're used to seeing such divides based upon race and/or religion. Really entertaining to read, with some good ideas, but with a certain inevitability about the progression of the plot and an ending that isn't altogether unexpected.
