Frameshift [Book] Google Books Goodreads
author: Robert J. Sawyer publishing house: Macmillan 2005 - 11
Geneticist Pierre Tardivel may not have long to live—he's got a fifty-fifty chance of having the gene for Huntington's disease. But if his DNA is tragic, his girlfriend's is astonishing: Molly Bond has a mutation that gives her telepathy. Both of them have attracted the interest of Pierre's boss, Dr. Burian Klimus, a senior researcher in the Human Genome Project who just might be hiding a horrific past. Avi Meyer, a dogged Nazi hunter, thinks Klimus was the monstrous "Ivan the Terrible" of the Treblinka Death Camp. As Pierre races against the ticking clock of his own DNA to make a world-changing scientific breakthrough, Avi also races against time to bring Klimus to justice before the last survivors of Treblinka pass away.Winner of the Seiun Award—Japan's top honor in science fiction—and a finalist for the Hugo Award, Frameshift is classic Robert J. Sawyer, combining a heart-wrenching human story and cutting-edge science into a pulse-pounding thriller that "delivers the real thing with subtlety and great skill" (Toronto Star).

读过 Frameshift 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
靠基因学能提前预知自己的命定之死或发现自己的缺陷基因,这便是现代化危机之一;通过这书第一次知道 Huntington's disease,十分悲惨;高人性的 Pierrre 一生燃烧自己的生命对抗种族主义迫害,英年早逝,把我看哭了;这科幻小说的主题便是基因学,又结合了现实中的纳粹危机和巨型企业对基因弱势群体的迫害,非常硬核,还穿插了悬疑推理动作情节等,作者 Robert J. Sawyer 不愧是高产的加拿大科幻之父;也接触到了一些美国文化,这书好像在一九九七年发表,那时候就已经有 political correctness 这词语了,还有神奇的 support group 文化。
