"His name was Theo Freedom and he was the danger we had always feared,"n the Minister of Propaganda explained. "Listen closely, for this is a story I had never thought I would need to tell. It begins with the greatest secret of all: of how and why the Hexes were created." (page 20)
The Minister of Propaganda makes the Hexes out to be a threatening group to society, almost as though they are terrorists. He makes them seem as though they are trying to take over the world, when in fact, the Minister and other government agencies are the ones who are controlling basically everything in society. It is evident that the government is scared of the biotechnological advances their ancestors had made, they knew it would make life better for all; the ancestors knew that their genetics would be able to help everyone in the society become more modernized. Because this book is set in a dystopian society, like so many other futuristic books, the government wants no part of this "advancement"- they want to keep control. The government knows that these Hexes are smarter than they will ever be, they could take over the world; all the power is in their head- literally.
