Schrodinger's Ape

A darkly funny, high-concept thriller about chimp-human hybrids, a government cover-up, and the terrifying question of where “human” really ends. In 2038, DC immigration lawyer Kerri King stumbles on a clandestine network of chimp-human hybrids: proof of a U.S.-sanctioned medical programme creating near-human test subjects with no rights. As Kerri and a woman pregnant with a hybrid child flee government agents, her investigation pulls them across Seattle, New York and Mexico. Fast-paced, darkly dystopian but shot through with wit, Schrödinger’s Ape is a literary science-fiction thriller that turns its gaze on the species barrier. What do we owe the “other” when the other is also, unmistakably, us?
