A personal message from the author:
I wanted to provoke readers to think about racism by giving them an entertaining story about a race that does not (yet) exist.
— David Datz
From a secret government project in a remote patch of the southwestern American desert, the new, slightly altered humans escape their generations-long imprisonment, triggering public hysteria.
The new humans struggle to survive, the project staff wrestles with guilt, and the public grapples with biases, in a speculative near-future allegory of racism.
