It's about a society where people are being genetically engineered and the genetically engineered people are considered far superior to "naturals". The "naturals" essentially become like untouchables but one is trying to pass as a genetically engineered person because he wants to be an astronaut and only the genetically engineered people get to join the space program. It's fascinating and scary...
