Produktbeschreibung
Award-winning author Susan Daitch's new novel, The Adjudicator, is a visionary cyberpunk thriller that explores the boundaries of consciousness and individual autonomy within an authoritarian state which controls the genetics of its citizens.  In a near future where the surveillance state legislates the genetic code of its citizens, Zedi Lowe is an anomaly. She has mirror-touch synaesthesia and experiences the emotions and sensations of anyone she encounters. It’s something she must keep secret, because in a world of perfect genetic control, neurological disorders shouldn’t exist. As an adjudicator, she fixes mistakes, investigates cases brought against the powerful gene-tailoring corporation she works for, Pangenica. Zedi discovers a mysterious cold case file based on an absurd premise; the case implies that Pangenica’s coding can manipulate consciousness. Fearing exposure, Zedi’s boss makes the case top priority, and she has only a few days to solve it. The case will prove to be an entry into a dangerous labyrinth, and Zedi follows a taut thread of information, one which, she will learn, connects to the structures of the corporation and the government, and even to her own deepest secrets.
