Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology

Amy Webb, Andrew Hessel

A futurist's account of synthetic biology, the technology that lets us write life rather than read it.

Amy Webb and Andrew Hessel lay out what happens as biology becomes programmable: organisms designed rather than bred, medicines printed to order, and a set of ethical questions arriving faster than the institutions meant to answer them. Written for the general reader without softening the science. Eric Schmidt said he learned from it about the future of synthetic biology, which will change everything.
