In a future where children can be designed for better health, greater intelligence, and carefully selected traits, genetic enhancement has become ordinary.
For Callie, it has always been part of life. Progress. Possibility. A way to give the next generation every advantage.
Until something starts to go wrong.
Teenagers connected to enhancement programs begin changing in disturbing ways. At first, the warning signs are easy to dismiss-mood swings, stress, aggression, strange behavior. But the incidents keep escalating, and Callie begins to suspect that what is happening has nothing to do with ordinary adolescence.
The deeper she looks, the more unsettling the truth becomes.
Different enhancement systems were built with different ideas of what makes a person successful. Some favored empathy and emotional balance. Others valued control, efficiency, fearlessness, and dominance.
And in a small number of teenagers, something is beginning to surface.
Now Callie and those closest to her must uncover who knew, who stayed silent, and how far a powerful system will go to protect the future it created.
Because perfection was never the real danger.
The danger was deciding what a perfect human should be.
STILL HUMAN is a fast-paced psychological sci-fi thriller about genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, identity, free will, family, and the terrifying consequences of trying to improve humanity without fully understanding what makes us human in the first place.
Perfect by design. Human by choice.
