In the near future, bioengineering companies create neutralizers—unicellular organisms that can destroy sex hormones in the brain, improving the academic dedication of students. Silver Path, a new performing arts school, is a pioneer in requiring that its students be neutralized. This kind of environment is perfect for Edward Warwick, a 12th-grader intensely dedicated to acting and intensely wary of romantic distractions. But over the course of his senior year at Silver Path, it becomes clear that there are many hormones other than testosterone and estrogen, and making it out of high school without any drama may not be as easy as a monthly neutralizer check-up.This publication also contains an afterword by the author, in which he describe how his own final year of secondary education directly lead to, and provided fodder for, this story.
