"A gifted and thoughtful writer, Metzl brings us to the frontiers of biology and technology, and reveals a world full of promise and peril." —Siddhartha Mukherjee MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene

A groundbreaking exploration of genetic engineering and its impact on the future of our species from leading geopolitical expert and technology futurist, Jamie Metzl.

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.

In this captivating and thought-provoking nonfiction science book, Jamie Metzl delves into the ethical, scientific, political, and technological dimensions of genetic engineering, and shares how it will shape the course of human evolution.
  • Cutting-edge insights into the field of genetic engineering and its implications for humanity's future
  • Explores the transformative power of genetic technologies and their potential to reshape human life
  • Examines the ethical considerations surrounding genetic engineering and the choices we face as a species
  • Engaging narrative that delves into the scientific breakthroughs and real-world applications of genetic technologies
  • Provides a balanced perspective on the promises and risks associated with genetic engineering
  • Raises thought-provoking questions about the future of reproduction, human health, and our relationship with nature
Drawing on his extensive background in genetics, national security, and foreign policy, Metzl paints a vivid picture of a world where advancements in technology empower us to take control of our own evolution, but also cautions against the pitfalls and ethical dilemmas that could arise if not properly managed.

Hacking Darwin is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, technology, and humanity's future. Futurologia Nauka Nauki społeczne

It’s not that we can’t cure diseases or help people out of poverty! It’s just we can’t do that because of ethical, geopolitical, and regulatory reasons! That hurts!

This has aged surprisingly well!

The book presents some interesting facts but by and large I found it very repetitive (counting the times the author said "AI" and "big data" would be quite the job), elitist and focused on the bureaucratic side of things (lots of talk about regulation).

2-3 stars

Excellent formulations, with well combined information on future genetic engineering of the human species. Highly recommend this audio to everyone interested in the future of civilisation and human evolution. The speaker has a clear voice and the listener truly becomes captivated - couldn’t stop listening and making notes :)

Best quality, information filled, dynamically explained audio

Fantastic. But now I am scared of what the future might bring. It's eye opening and leaves you with a lot to think about

It's as elitist as it gets, hyper biased, only partly well-informed, and, above all, it literally adds nothing new.

Incredibly one-sided
