Hacking Darwin : genetic engineering and the future of humanity
\"At the dawn of the genetics revolution, 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. From a leading technology futurist and geopolitical expert comes a groundbreaking exploration of the many ways genetic engineering is shaking the core foundations of our lives--sex, war, love, and death. Enter the laboratories where scientists are turning science fiction into reality. Look toward a future where our deepest beliefs, morals, religions, and politics are challenged like never before and the very essence of what it means to be human is at play. As our technology races forward, it's essential for everyone to learn how our species will re-create all of life, including ourselves. Passionate, provocative, and highly illuminating, Hacking Darwin is a guide to a future that has already begun\"--Back cover
Superconvergence : how the genetics, biotech, and AI revolutions will transform our lives, work, and world
\"In Superconvergence, leading futurist Jamie Metzl explores how genome sequencing, gene editing, artificial intelligence, and other technologies are not only changing our lives, but catalyzing each other in radical and accelerating ways. These technologies have the potential to improve our health, feed billions of people, supercharge our economies, and store essential information for millions of years, but can also-if we are not careful-do immeasurable harm\"-- Provided by publisher.
