Resumen del Editor

In the not-too-distant future, a life-altering energy drink called Lifio sets the world on fire. Using CRISPR technology, the drink causes a genetic mutation that reverses the effects of aging and cures all diseases and ailments. These absurdly positive effects create a manic demand for the drink and, within months, sales of Lifio are booming around the globe. It isn’t long, though, before a darker side emerges: The mutation is permanent after just one drink, and those changed are beginning to grow...

Spanning a decade, Growth follows the efforts of a team of scientists, public health specialists, and software engineers, led by the inspirational and pragmatic US President Williamson, to stop the mutation before starvation sweeps across the world. As they struggle to close Pandora’s Box, the fate of the human race hangs perilously in the balance, with only one constant: Relentless, unending growth.

Growth, a dystopian science fiction novel, tells the story of a dedicated group’s desperate attempts to stop technology run amok, it’s also a tale of political drama and scientific discovery, of the American dream and limitless excess, of progress and consequences - all intertwined in a disturbingly possible future.
