About This Book
Welcome to our genetic world.
Fast, furious, and out of control.
This is not the world of the future--it's the world right now.
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is
everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and
chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why an adult human being
resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic
cure for drug addiction--is it worse than the disease?
We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps; a time when it's
possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars;
test our spouses for genetic maladies and even frame someone for a
genetic crime.
We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone
else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued
cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within
their chromosomes. . . .
Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale
of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and a set of new
possibilities can open at every turn. Next challenges our sense of
reality and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and bizarre with
the genuinely frightening and disturbing, Next shatters our assumptions,
and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect.
The future is closer than you think. Get used to it.
