The
Final Flaw
Our Flaws Define Us, What Happens When They’re Gone?
In the near future, genetic defects will soon be a thing of the past. Every child is born using The Template, a revolutionary invention ensuring health and happiness. Its success brought about Mendelium, the largest technology company in the world, which now controls humanity’s genetic future via a board of directors.
Charlie Lamarck, an engineer with Tourette’s syndrome, is working to create a better life for future generations when he’s suddenly thrust into a position of power by Gerhard Geller, the eccentric CEO who taken a liking to him—perhaps too quickly.
Charlie’s differences have brought success into his life, and he’s skeptical of a world without flaws. Now, he faces a choice.
Should Charlie work to change the future, or will he be part of the last generation shaped by their own genetic disadvantages?
Compelling, genuine, timely, and unforgettable: The Final Flaw is a gripping exploration into our differences and what makes us unique as human beings. This thought-provoking novel underlines the positives of neurological diversity and paints an all-too-realistic future of the corporatization of genetic technologies.
What People Say
This book was the most unique one I’ve read in a while. The author hit a highly debated topic right now and for good reason. This was an easy read but not “simple” in its concepts. the authors choice to make the timeline jump around made it a more interesting read. Loved that the main character had Tourette’s, because you don’t see enough about it in common media

Gerhard’s speech near the end of the book should be required reading. I just recently said to my husband that we have arrived at the place in history where science fiction and reality coexist. And the topics covered in this novel should be at the forefront of our conversations about the future of genetic testing and our hope for the future of humanity.

There’s a lot of morality at play here in this little volume. It poses some interesting questions for consideration. What makes us different? What makes us successful? Who are we without our quirks and flaws? What cost to us would there be to being perfect? Does overcoming adversity in our own lives make us better as not only an individual but also as a collective society?
