You Have Arrived At Your Destination Short Story Book Club: You Have Arrived At Your Destination

The husband of a couple goes to a company called Vitek which is able to produce a child for them with whatever genes the parents would like. What's different about Vitek, though, is that they are able to show the parents videos of what their child would be like, depending on what "programming" they chose. I thought the first part - half to three-fourths or so - we're very good and built up my expectations for the ending. The idea basically being could you predict the life of your future child in the same way your credit score predicts how good you are with money. The scenarios presented were interesting and thought provoking. Yossman, K. J. (25 August 2022). "Ewan McGregor to Star in Paramount+ Drama 'A Gentleman In Moscow' ". Variety . Retrieved 17 September 2022.Here we are not confronted with manbeasts but with the choice of "contour" of your child. Sam Paxton, who steadily earned his fortune and is now ready to have children, has three options to choice from, carefully curated by Vitek, a cutting edge firm. It’s been a good year of reading so far and this is the story that I think most are likely to admire as well as be a bit creeped out by! This short story presents a very near, very realistic future in which prospective parents can choose not just the gender or hair color of their future child, but a lot of their personality attributes, too. A married couple, Sam and Annie, decide to consult with a genetic engineering firm as they plan to start a family. In some ways, Sam feels that giving their future son this genetic boost is no different than getting him into a competitive school.

Spliced into this is a philosophical thread comparing human lives to three act plays. But when a company can calculate decisions and therefore life styles by and for people who haven't even been born (projections that then let them decide which genetic markers need to be pushed and which ones need to be suppressed), where's the free will?

You Have Arrived at Your Destination tells the story of a couple who decide to use new genetic engineering methods to have their first child. The idea is that the child's genes are "nudged" slightly in different ways and projections are given for the possible futures of each variation. Scary stuff and the husband finds himself becoming less and less enthusiastic about the plan. The three of them sat there in silence, not looking at each other so much as at the middle of the table—at that small plastic container in which there was and wasn’t their future. In which there was and wasn’t ours.” Groskop, Viv (2011-07-15). "Rules of Civility by Amor Towles – review". The Guardian. ISSN 0261-3077 . Retrieved 2016-10-12.
