Genetic engineering breathes all new life to the idea of the ultimate society.
Spain Mr. Roger Camden believes the super Trait to be sleep, or rather the lack of the need to sleep. So it is with all his riches Mr. Camden will stop at nothing to have his future daughter embedded with this sleepless characteristic. Nancy Kress allows for immediate comparison of the sleepless child to a normal child when Mrs. Elizabeth Camden gives birth to twins. As this story begins you might think of how great it would be to not have to sleep, but as Leisha matures we see another side to the story. Suddenly you'd have plenty of time to do all the things you ever wanted to do.
