Jamie Metzl’s new book, Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity, was released last week and is taking the country by storm. CNN’s Sanjay Gupta says, “If you can only read one book on the future of our species, this is it.”  Our DNA is becoming as readable, writable, and hackable as our information technology in a genetic revolution that will transform our healthcare, the way we make babies, the nature of the babies we make, and our evolution as a species. But although the choices we make today will be the difference between realizing breathtaking advances in human well-being and descending into a dangerous genetic arms race, we aren’t at all ready for this fast-approaching future. Jamie Metzl’s Hacking Darwin is your guide to what’s happening, what’s at stake, and what we each and all must do now to prepare.
