In a world united by technocrats, being different is a curse.

2089 C.E.: Wars over genetically modified food, human DNA experiments, and mass testing on Earth's populations have altered the human genome. A great genetic divide among humanity has erupted, as have aspirations for gene unity. For an Abnormal like Tory, a minority group of people unaffected by the gene mutations, this means a bleak and devastating reality of segregation and sterilization. With powerful AI tech governing over society and blaming Abnormals for all of the world's problems, and a tyrant group of the old world's oligarchs, Absolutists, enforcing this regime, the world seems adamant about keeping Tory in her lowly place.

But when her new boss, Vasil, acquires sole control over White Tunnels, an Itrep mining facility in Antarctica where Tory works as an Itrep Hunter, everything she's ever hoped for now seems possible. Encouraged by Vasil to join him and a covert organization known as The Council in their plans to overthrow the Absolutist Regime, Tory must find it in herself to help lead a new era or risk a life sentence of misery.

In Craig T. Stewart's staggering debut novel Emergence, a rebellion is on the rise and a war for individual rights is about to consume the world.
