Aprašymas

A new world is emerging, one parthenogenetic birth at a time.

It's 2049 and American women have legally recognized human asexual reproduction. Samara yearns for freedom from her dying relationship, and a child of her own-fully her own. Yet as parthenogenetic birth takes hold and the role of men in the survival of the species wanes, protest and outcry sweep across the nation.

It's 2062 and Sierra, one of the first "partho princesses", is bullied relentlessly as she grows up and seeks her own place in this new pressure cooker of evolving gender roles and norms.

It's 2085-the aftermath of the "Days of Horror", a period of violent backlash from displaced men-and a professor of history looks back on the rise of PG birth in an attempt to understand, and communicate, the full impact of this era of genetic and political upheaval.

Together, these three converging perspectives tell the story of a profound societal transformation that asks what it means to have autonomy, who reaps the rewards, and who the future is for.
