"A gifted and thoughtful writer, Metzl brings us to the frontiers of biology and technology, and reveals a world full of promise and peril." —Siddhartha Mukherjee MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene

A groundbreaking exploration of genetic engineering and its impact on the future of our species from leading geopolitical expert and technology futurist, Jamie Metzl.

At the dawn of the genetics revolution, our DNA is becoming as readable, writable, and hackable as our information technology. But as humanity starts retooling our own genetic code, the choices we make today will be the difference between realizing breathtaking advances in human well-being and descending into a dangerous and potentially deadly genetic arms race. Enter the laboratories where scientists are turning science fiction into reality.

In this captivating and thought-provoking nonfiction science book, Jamie Metzl delves into the ethical, scientific, political, and technological dimensions of genetic engineering, and shares how it will shape the course of human evolution.
  • Cutting-edge insights into the field of genetic engineering and its implications for humanity's future
  • Explores the transformative power of genetic technologies and their potential to reshape human life
  • Examines the ethical considerations surrounding genetic engineering and the choices we face as a species
  • Engaging narrative that delves into the scientific breakthroughs and real-world applications of genetic technologies
  • Provides a balanced perspective on the promises and risks associated with genetic engineering
  • Raises thought-provoking questions about the future of reproduction, human health, and our relationship with nature
Drawing on his extensive background in genetics, national security, and foreign policy, Metzl paints a vivid picture of a world where advancements in technology empower us to take control of our own evolution, but also cautions against the pitfalls and ethical dilemmas that could arise if not properly managed.

Hacking Darwin is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, technology, and humanity's future. Biological Sciences Evolution Evolution & Genetics Future Studies Genetics Science Social Sciences Teknoloji Genetik hastalık

Metzl takes what is an incredibly complex topic and chops it into digestible, understandable chunks. What is genetic engineering? Where are we with the technology? What's possible? Who are the big players? What're the dangerous? The geo-politics and ethics? All soundly covered. Found it fascinating, especially in terms of what is possible, imagining what the future human could look and be like and the kinds of choices parents could potentially need to make in future. It's a brave new world and I it feels like most of us aren't prepared for it...

Accessible, broad-spectrummed and fascinating

This is an excellent and important work and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the near future. In many ways it's the book that I hoped the disappointing Homo Deus by Harari would be.
The audio-book narration however is truly dreadful, and I had to work hard not to let it distract me from the book's content. Imagine someone whose regular day job is doing voice-overs for cheesy American commercials who think it's necessary to do an impression of a Star Trek Vulcan because he's reading a science book.
Buy the printed version!

An excellent book, shame about the narration.

Tried so hard with this but felt I missed a lot of learning due to the narrator sounding like a more annoying version of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. Really distracting.

Couldn't get on with the narrator

This book is a great read and provides amazing thought experiments to really delve into at home it's extremely informative and is a real eye opener not just as to what our future holds technologically but also morally and ethically along with the potential traps we could fall to, I found my mind wondering for hours after each read (which I guess isn't hard) which only makes for better reading

A must read for all those scientifically minded

After hearing about the Dire Wolves in the news, I thought I would listen to something to learn a little about genetic engineering. Fascinating Stuff!

Insightful
