| Next
2006 |
| | 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. |
