4.0

The book starts out strong with many interesting ideas about tech advancements, especially in the medical field, and pre-selected reproduction. The world-building is surprisingly thorough. References to chatgpt were fun to see. A lot of talk about human rights, specifically privacy, body autonomy, and reproduction.
The book loses its momentum around 65% and becomes a bit boring, more thriller than sci-fi, but there's still a nice twist at the end. It's not groundbreaking, but it's worth a read.
