When Mister Wilson, the young and terribly inexperienced CEO of GeneConX a start-up DNA ancestry company, learns his technology has identified superhuman traits among four anonymous consumers, he seizes the opportunity to brand America’s first superheroes: The Quad. Preparations begin and excitement intensifies — that is, until Mister and his team discover the four are a stocky middle-aged woman and her emotional-support ferret, a walker-bound old man with hip dysplasia, a teen from foster care who’s more concerned with finding his birth mom than becoming a superhero, and a French bulldog named Taco whose social-media-obsessed owner submitted the dog’s DNA as a hoax. It’s not exactly an ideal lineup, but GeneConX is committed to staying the course. And so begins a dramatic and disastrous adventure as three otherwise unspectacular human beings and one adorable mutt attempt to save the world, themselves, and ultimately each other. The Unremarkables is a humorous and heartfelt novel about identity, found family, and what it means to be ‘a somebody’ — or not — amidst the ever-changing and often cruel embrace of pop culture.
