'Insightful and ingenious . . . Intrusion is both horrific and
comic, and deals movingly with the consequences of genetic fixes' -
GUARDIAN 'Intrusion is a finely-tuned, in-your-face argument of a
novel . . . MacLeod will push your buttons - and make you think' -
SFX Imagine a near-future city, say London, where medical science
has advanced beyond our own and a single-dose pill has been
developed that, taken when pregnant, eradicates many common genetic
defects from an unborn child. Hope Morrison, mother of a
hyperactive four-year-old, is expecting her second child. She
refuses to take The Fix, as the pill is known. This divides her
family and friends and puts her and her husband in danger of
imprisonment or worse. Is her decision a private matter of
individual choice, or is it tantamount to willful neglect of her
unborn child? A plausible and original novel with sinister echoes
of 1984 and Brave New World. Books by Ken MacLeod: Fall Revolution
