4.0

This is an independently published piece of work that is more a series of interconnected stories following a scientist and his work to help keep black Americans alive by modifying their genetics for the better. It is a wrought series that deals with wealth and healthcare inequality, reparations, environmental racism, and the push back against true inequality as well as family ties.

The stories start of slow and ramp up as the situation throughout the situation.  The quality of the stories was mostly consistent, but there were some amazing lines. Definitely reading the next book in the series.
