A solid, entertaining story. Our protagonist goes to China to bait out someone she knew in high school, a guy that the girls get warned about. Seemingly nice, but with a dark side. He learns biology and starts in on a project to make humans superhuman. Kritzer does a nice job of speculation, and an even better job at the end of the story tying in the layers outside of it. Worth a nomination and a read.
