I like this book because it deals with some fundamental social and scientific concerns that one day we as humans might have to deal with such as cloning, and changing humans DNA and specific genes to get the child you want. Who look perfect and live longer than normal people. So, society as a whole has to deal with this perceived problem of inequality since only the very rich will be able to afford the GAP procedure. The naturals like Noah and his father before him protest against them to show the world that scientist should not play God, by giving people unfair advantages, privileges and having GAP only utopian cities. This does not help the overall population who are barely surviving in a world littered with economical and environmental concerns. And to see how neglected and ignored religious beliefs are is a bit sad we all need to have faith in some higher power.People like Zoe's grandfather who help discover how to do this don't see it as an ethically wrong and he goes around the government with all his money to do things that are illegal such as fund a project to create human cyborgs, help clone Zoe when she died in a pool accident at the age of 2, and erase her memory of Noah. Zoe life in the beginning seems perfect she has a bf and a great older brother and rich parents, but everything falls apart when her brother goes missing and she is determined to find out what happened to him.
