Autobiography of My Future Self G Lorenzo Parisi

The future has brought many great things to humanity, the unlocking of genetics, functional AI, and carbon-free transportation, but Peter Micelli isn't feeling it. The future is a place where the reality of changes to our DNA nurture for those with the right name and money a new class of haves (e.g. higher IQs; better athleticism; better looks; favorable personality traits) and have-nots. Cursed since birth by a low DNA rating (definitely a have-not), twenty-four-year-old Peter Micelli is accused of murdering a highly regarded geneticist. It is an open and shut case to everyone around him, except he didn't do it. At least he doesn't remember doing it, but does it really matter?Now he must stay one step ahead of the police, local gangs, politicians, and corporate interests . . . everyone seems to be closing in on him while he attempts to clear his name and avoid prison (or worse). On the run, he becomes tethered to Leryn, the only living witness in the murder investigation, who wants to put him away for the murder. Peter tries to seek shelter among the outcasts of Society, those who have chosen not to blindly follow the changes that technology has fostered upon Society, those he calls family, yet violence stalks him and all who help him. Death is waiting . . . and it comes to set him free.
