The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology

byAmy Webb

Synthetic biology will revolutionize how we define family, how we identify disease and treat aging, where we make our homes, and how we nourish ourselves. The research behind The Genesis Machine draws together scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the our quest to rewrite life in the age of synthetic biology with debates in science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. The Genesis Machine emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
