"In the late 21st century, genetics experiments led to mutations in the population and the creation of a new breed of people known as the Hexes. Feard for their ability to interface with technology, the Hexes were declared a thread to international security and across the world governments sanctioned their legalized extermination." (page vii)
The issue that I am focusing on throughout this set of blogs is biotechnology/genetics. The series of the "Hex" books focus on a group of people who have been genetically modified/mutated to have special powers. They have "supercomputer minds" which allows to have a crazy amount of power over the government; Raven, the main character is able to hack into any computer or network ever created- which clearly gives her an upper hand in life. She is, in every sense of the word, a Superhuman.
