While it doesn't fall neatly into the traditional science fiction genre, it does contain some elements that might be considered sci-fi:
* Speculative elements: The book explores the idea of genetic manipulation and its impact on identity, which could be considered speculative.
* Technological advancements: It features technologies like DNA testing and gene editing, although they are presented as existing technologies rather than future ones.
However, the book's primary focus is on:
* Psychological suspense: It revolves around a woman grappling with her own identity and the truth about her past, with themes of family secrets, memory, and personal identity.
* Social commentary: It explores societal expectations, gender roles, and the complexities of human relationships.
Therefore, while "Double Identity" may have some sci-fi elements, it's primarily classified as a psychological thriller or literary fiction with strong social commentary.
