À propos de cet audio

From leading geopolitical expert and technology futurist Jamie Metzl comes a groundbreaking exploration of the many ways genetic engineering is shaking the core foundations of our lives-sex, war, love, and death.

At the dawn of the genetics revolution, our 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.

Enter the laboratories where scientists are turning science fiction into reality. Look towards 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. When we can engineer our future children, massively extend our lifespans, build life from scratch, and recreate the plant and animal world, should we?

Passionate, provocative, and highly illuminating, Hacking Darwin is the must-listen book about the future of our species for fans of Homo Deus and The Gene.

Recommended. Thoughtful, insightful and grounded. Exciting and scary. Narration is a bit robotic but tolerable.

Very good book, narration a bit robotic

Narrator is not very good. He needs to just read it and not pause on every word. It got kind of annoying.

ok

By nature I am naturally inquisitive about many things and have always had some general interest in genome editing and DNA sequencing, especially after seeing the 2019 documentary Human Nature in which CRISPR and Cas9 (one of the enzymes produced by CRISPR) is discussed. This book not only discusses breakthroughs like crispr-cas9 but also provides current and detailed information and analysis about a multitude of issues revolving around the extreme positives and negatives that genetic engineering is bringing to the world.

Metzl did a beautiful job in presenting this information in a clear, unbiased, and relatable format.

Absolutely Eye-Opening & Informative

A very interesting and educational take on the current genetic revolution, will listen to again.

Enlightening

This book is awesome! An historical and predictive combination of significant events. Mind blowing narratives about where we have been, where we are headed, the political and scientific ambitions and controls that have been shaping and changing our worlds. Stimulating facts and intriguing food for thought make you wonder and ponder about our evolutionary trajectory and potential impacts. I didn't want it to end! Everyone should get this book.

Best Book of 21C to Date

Very important listen!

information accessible to all
I enjoyed learning about the human genome and gmo food

well presented

the book is a solid conversation starter for society but the overly dramatic voice with loud exhales on the end of each phrase made it somewhat difficult to go through the book

solid conversation starter

An amazing book that starts the conversation on genetic engineering, covering a plethora of topics on the horizon but approaching fast. The narrator is not as bad as other review made it seem. His performance does not vastly stray from what is standard if you are an avid Audible listener.

Highly recommend, the future is upon us

This book raised several very important and timely questions about what is ethical for future reproduction and how it can be regulated, especially across national boundaries.

Very interesting social questions raised.
