The XY Dot

by Austin Curtis Brown

It began at 11:38 PM, the first of May, 1997. No one took notice. No one could have noticed. It descended as silently as a shadow, altering the course of human history without apology or permission.No boys were conceived. And no one could figure out why.The world watched in stunned disbelief as the problem persisted for months into eventual years. With unwavering resolve, nature held its grip, admitting no exceptions, save one, a now nine-and-a-half-year-old boy by the name of Adam whom we follow in this intriguing new landscape.This is a book about a world gone half-mad in its quest to find a solution to the fertility crisis. A book about one boy's inquisitive journey to find a simple answer to a simple question. A book about life and death and the choices we make with the smallest among us- those the size of mere dots.
