IS THIS THE WORLD YOU WANT? Are you among the chosen ones--the elite class that rules all humanity? Then you were not born by accident to rule and lead. Your new society carefully plans for each new superior individual through the use of carefully regulated genetics. This genetic system is controlled by one administrator, never by the parents!
Are you the son of a world-famous statesman who lived more than two hundred years ago? Are you the daughter of a sensitive poet who died one hundred years before you were born? Then you were created in the Baths of Malneen-- where all things are possible, because donors abound making miracles take place...

An incredibly compelling novel of the world to come (or is it here now?), this book is destined to be a classic work of science fiction.
