Engineering is fully applied to humans. A new superclass of humans
is created, with "idea" attributes. Increasingly, people
who can't afford to have their children Genetically modified before
conception form a downtrodden "underclass" with low-paying
jobs. Their children also face increasing discrimination, being
viewed as "imperfect" or "flawed".
