In his society-a society based entirely on collective genetic advancement-there can be no room for individualism. All forms of affection must be kept within useful bounds. And the Altruism, a philosophy that champions communal progress above all else, reigns supreme. But when Zetswe's wife dies in childbirth, he is told that he must terminate his newborn because the baby is genetically unfit. For the first time in his life, Zetswe confronts his doubts about the Altruism, setting off a chain of events that can only end in bloodshed. Altruism is an ultimately hopeful tale about loss and devotion-and the ever-resurgent goodness of humanity.
