Change Agent

Marvellously entertaining, with non stop action and a fascinating rendering of the world in 2045 (not a very happy place for most people but life goes on). Love the What If scenario - what if adults can be gene-edited to become another person entirely? The protagonist, Kenneth Durand, is a rather bland Interpol analyst who gets gene edited into becoming the notorious criminal he's chasing, Marcus Wyckes. His neat little life in Singapore (tech capital of the world in 2045) gets ripped to shreds, and his efforts to regain his genes take us to 2045 Malaysia (kinda crummy), Thailand (still the same), and Myanmar (even worse).
There's nothing literary about this novel but the questions it raises on gene editing, identity, the right to choose one's genes, may be ones we would have to face in the near future.
