Description
In the near future, disease will be a condition of the past. Most genetic defects will be removed at birth; the remaining during infancy. Lou Arrendale, a high-functioning adult with autism, is a member of the lost generation, born at the wrong time to reap the rewards of medical science. He lives a low-key, independent life but then is offered a chance to try a new experimental "cure" for his condition. With the treatment, Lou would think, act and be just like everyone else but if he is suddenly free of autism, would he still be himself?
