Escape from Genopolis
''Escape From Genopolis'' is the first of a trilogy of young-adult futuristic-fiction novels by T. E. Berry-Hart. It uses many of the same themes of genetic engineering, social engineering, totalitarianism, environmental issues, eugenics and ethics as ''Brave New World'', ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'', ''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'' and ''The Day of the Triffids''.
==Background==
Genopolis is a futuristic city, established in 2064, after the known world has been wiped out through environmental upheaval caused by global warming. The Citizens of Genopolis are humans who have been genetically engineered to withstand the great extremes of flood and fire, but with the result that they cannot feel pain or emotion. Therefore, they can no longer feel love, mercy, compassion or friendship, and these words have become obsolete and forgotten. Although Genopolis is advanced in many ways, it is also primitive, because the Citizens are served by slaves and rely on barter instead of money; while the buildings and people are decaying because pain no longer acts as an early warning system against disease and injury, so it is very easy to die of a simple scratch.
Outside the walls of Genopolis live the Naturals, the remnants of the former human race, hiding in the caves and ruined buildings of the Regions. Naturals can still feel pain and emotion, but are being hunted down and destroyed to provide blood and spare parts for the Citizens.
