Summary
About 200 years in the future, mankind has cracked the code of genetics. Those created through this discovery, known as splices, aren't considered human. The flooded city of Atlas is under lockdown as a fatal epidemic wreaks havoc, threatening to overrun the country if not contained. In Atlas's corrupt underbelly, an enigmatic and dangerous organization of rogue scientists has been assassinating crime lords for reasons unknown.
A college intern gets in over their head, and an information broker bites off more than he can chew.

Summary
A crusade against splicing (lead primarily by religious institutions who believed it was an affront to God to tamper with His creatures in such a way; viewed splices themselves as monstrosities) eventually led to the prohibition of the study, though their efforts did surprisingly coincide with humanitarian groups, who succeeded in arguing for the experiments themselves.
In the following weeks, Splices capable of higher thought were given names and tooth chips, spent typically about 6 months in integration centers (ICs), learning to be “a part of society” before being dropped in their govt provided housing units, which were concentrated in sunken cities due to lesser costs (particularly on the sublevels, where Splices are pretty much regulated now).
Atlas has 3 ICs in the northwest, the northeast, and the south. They have all since been converted into detention centers.
