The study analyzes instances of a eugenetic imagination in early 21stcentury novels.Employing categories developed by Rabinow & Rose in the context of Foucault's 'biopower,' it reveals the continuity of eugenic ideas in contemporary fiction and it as a crucial element in the literary evaluation of modern-day genetics.
