Historia
Big business is booming and state institutions are thriving thanks to advances in genetic engineering, which have produced a compliant population free from addictions. Violent crime is now a rarity. Mayhew McCline, a major corporation that analyzes global trends, has hired a genius: Jayna. A brilliant mathematical modeler, she has the ability to produce accurate predictions that are both good for the world and good for the bottom line. Her latest coup: finding a link between northeasterly winds and violent crime.

Enter a different kind of mind....
Revisado: 07-11-14
What made the experience of listening to A Calculated Life the most enjoyable?
The author's conveyance of the mind of a created human, with no history and limited emotional range, but enhanced reasoning abilities was utterly convincing.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Not really a "page-turner" in the sense of edge-of-your-seat suspense. If you appreciate exploring the future world of humans, bionics and humans bred with certain traits - a world that every day seems more possible, and entering the mind of a person who's thoughts are unlike any heroine's you've ever read, you'll keep reading.
What about Susan Duerden’s performance did you like?
Ah...she was the perfect voice for Jayna.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Can we create a better "human" - and if we could, would we want to?
Any additional comments?
The ending is worth reading. Just when you think it might all tie up too nicely...well, not quite. But still a very satisfying conclusion.
