Jennifer Doudna, the world-renowned scientist behind CRISPR, "one of the most monumental discoveries in biology" (The New York Times), explains her discovery, describes its power to change the future of all life, and warns against its use.
Few discoveries have changed the course of human history. This book is about the most recent and potentially most powerful and dangerous of them.
CRISPR is an invention that allows us to rewrite the genetic code. Thanks to it, dreams of genetic manipulation have become reality: it has become possible to cure disease and alleviate suffering, to create new sources of food and energy, and to reorganize any species, including humans, for our own purposes.
The future of humanity - and all life on Earth - is at stake. This book is an essential guide to the path that now awaits.
