Corpus Delicti - Von Juli Zeh

In the organizer's words:

Science has worked wonders: genetic research, early detection and strict hygiene laws prevent the outbreak of any disease. In the wake of medical progress, common sense has given rise to a political system that protects its citizens from physical suffering. The price of safety: control and complete surveillance.

Until recently, the young biologist Mia Holl was a natural part of the method and defended it against her rebellious brother Moritz. But then he was convicted of murdering a woman after a DNA test and killed himself in prison. Mia is thrown off course, doubts her brother's guilt, reproaches herself, neglects sport and diet reports and becomes the target of the law. A smoked cigarette is considered an abuse of toxic substances, from which the endangerment of the general welfare is derived. The discussions in court and in the media escalate and Mia becomes the figurehead of the resistance.
