Corpus Delicti

Gift edition in a small format, printed on full linen with a ribbon bookmark. Young, attractive, talented, and independent: this is Mia Holl, a thirty-year-old woman who must stand trial before a jury. She is accused of having too much love (for her brother), too much intellect (she thinks scientifically), and an excess of mental independence. In a society where concern for the body has overshadowed all intellectual values, this is enough to be classified as a dangerous subject. Juli Zeh crafts an exciting science fiction scenario in "Corpus Delicti," depicting a health dictatorship sometime in the 21st century, where health has become the highest civic duty.
