"Our ancestors were misguided in their march toward progress. They experimented with genetics and created mutants intended to be a fusion of mind and machine, technological wizards who would guide us into a new age... They were fools and dreamers and they thought to play God. It has taken centuries for us to undo their work." (page 21)
Genetic experimentation can be very dangerous and sometimes morally wrong. The Minister of Propaganda is using this against the Hexes when trying to convince the public that their existence is harmful towards the society they live in. This also is another way that their society is corrupt, I bet that biotechnology is present in their society but it is not shown because it is favorable towards them; the Hexes, on the other hand, are not favorable, therefore they are made an example of. This shows that as humans we are selfish towards what will benefit them, and not the society as a whole.
