Q: Ein fesselnder dystopischer Roman über eine Gesellschaft, in der Intelligenz und Einkommen den Wert eines Menschen bestimmen.In Christina Dalchers neuem SPIEGEL-Bestseller Q ist die Zukunft nah und verführerisch einfach: Jeder Mensch besitzt einen Q-Wert, der Intelligenz und Einkommen misst und damit den Platz in der Gesellschaft zuweist. Elena Fairchild, Lehrerin an einer Eliteschule, glaubt an dieses System und testet regelmäßig das Potential ihrer Schüler. Je höher der Q-Wert, desto größer der Zugang zu Bildung und desto goldener die Zukunft. Doch wohin jeden Morgen die Busse die Kinder mit niedrigem Q-Wert bringen, weiß niemand so genau. Nur, dass sie nicht wiederkehren.Als Elenas 9-jährige Tochter durch einen Test fällt und ihr Q-Wert auf ein erschreckend niedriges Niveau sinkt, lernt die Mutter die Kehrseite der schönen neuen Welt kennen. Was, wenn die Auslese der Besten nur der Anfang eines schrecklichen Plans ist? Was, wenn man ihr das eigene Kind nehmen will? Q ist ein packender dystopischer Thriller, der die Frage aufwirft, wie weit eine Gesellschaft gehen darf, um die vermeintlich Besten zu selektieren - und was passiert, wenn man selbst nicht dazugehört.
