I'm looking for titles of highly regarded or successful works of literary fiction dealing with themes of biotechnology (GM, cloning etc). I don't mean genre-science fiction. I want to test the idea that though generalist authors have regularly dipped into scientific themes in the past, biotechnology offers something especially useful to writers of fiction. I'd be grateful for any thoughts. I have a deadline on Monday 14th October; but would still be interested afterwards, Alex Linklater
