The Genesis Machine

Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology
Book • 2023
The Genesis Machine delves into the promising yet controversial field of synthetic biology, which combines biology and artificial intelligence to program living systems.

The book explores how this technology can address existential challenges like climate change and pandemics but also raises critical questions about genetic privacy, ownership, and ethical governance.

Through hypothetical scenarios, it illustrates the potential impact of synthetic biology on various aspects of life, from genetic selection to food production.
