Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The obsessive world of the ground-breaking geneticist is memorably portrayed in an ambitious debut novel that examines what happens when science and human appetites collide.

In search of the perfect stem cell, colleagues Rhea and Lewis spend hours vacuum-packed together in an airless bio-tech lab. Waiting at the end of each day is Amber, Rhea's charismatic and attractive sister. Married to Lewis, Amber is about to embark on fertility treatment, but it's a step that will bring this already incestuous family group to the brink. This cautionary tale goes enjoyably more rogue at every turn.
