A gifted and thoughtful author, Jamie Metzel takes us to the frontiers of biology and technology and reveals a world full of danger. Deciphering Darwin is provocative and stunning. After 3.8 billion years, mankind is about to evolve with new rules. Jamie Metzel, a leading geopolitical expert and technology futurist, offers a groundbreaking exploration of the many ways genetic engineering is shaking up the very foundations of our lives—sex, war, love, and death. At the dawn of the genetic revolution, our DNA is as readable, writable, and hackable as our information technology. But as humanity begins to rebuild its genetic code, the choices we make today will be the difference between realizing stunning 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 to a future where our deepest beliefs, morals, religions, and politics will be challenged in an unprecedented way. When we can engineer our future offspring, vastly extend our lifespans, build a life from scratch, and remake the plant and animal worlds, should we still be hopeful?
