Publisher's Summary
In a futuristic world where predictive software can map out the lives of every living person and their descendants, Naomi Prynne is on trial. The charge: endangerment by way of a pregnancy.
Thirteen jurors will determine whether Naomi is allowed to carry the pregnancy to term, but the jurors are also all plaintiffs, the software having predicted how Naomi Prynne’s child will affect each of them in life-changing ways. Among them: a history professor who has given up on her own dreams for the sake of the greater good; a student participating in his first ever trial who’s about to discover an earth-shattering truth; and a former mathematician, who knows all too well the dark machinations of the state, but is prohibited from speaking out against them. The future of the Prynne Viper - an acronym for “viable person” - is in their hands.
But this Prynne Viper is unlike Naomi’s other pregnancies. This time, Naomi Prynne is carrying a secret, one with the power to alter the future into something incalculable, and therefore, unpredictable.

Fascinating & refreshing
This short story shows a more complex and probable vision of the future, both through the main story and though well chosen side comments than many full blown novels.

Futuristic and fantastic!!
Well written and dramatised suspense that for me was a 10/10. Fascinating subject about the right to have offspring when the consequences can actually be predicted in a future overpopulated world. Brilliant. Hope there will be more like this!!! Thanks Audible!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼

Better than books 5x it's length
Fits an extraordinary amount of ideas and emotions into a relatively small space. The narrated voices were nothing outstanding, but certainly believable. Well worth a listen.
