A TIMES ENVIRONMENT AND SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022

'The ideal guide to what is not just a fiendishly complex area of science but also an ethical minefield' Mail on Sunday

A new gene editing technology, invented just seven years ago, has turned humanity into gods. Enabling us to manipulate the genes in virtually any organism with exquisite precision, CRISPR has given scientists a degree of control that was undreamt of even in science fiction.

But CRISPR is just the latest, giant leap in a long journey to master genetics. The Genetic Age shows the astonishing, world-changing potential of the new genetics and the possible threats it poses, sifting between fantasy and the reality when it comes to both benefits and dangers.

By placing each phase of discovery, anticipation and fear in the context of over fifty years of attempts to master the natural world, Matthew Cobb, the Baillie-Gifford-shortlisted author of The Idea of the Brain, weaves the stories of science, history and culture to shed new light on our future. With the powers now at our disposal, it is a future that is almost impossible to imagine - but it is one we will create ourselves.

“一个既非简单复杂，也非道德禁区的领域”的理想指南”《每日镜报》

一种新的基因编辑技术，在七年前才被发明出来，已经让人类成为了神。它使我们能够以近乎完美的精确度来操纵几乎任何生物的基因，CRISPR为科学家们提供了一种远超科幻小说想象的控制能力。

但CRISPR只是这一长期旅程中的一项最新、最大的突破。《遗传时代》展示了新遗传学令人惊讶的世界改变潜力以及它可能带来的威胁，并在两者的好处和危险之间进行筛选。

通过将每一阶段的发现、期待与恐惧置于超过50年试图掌控自然世界的背景下，鲍里斯-吉菲奖短名单作家马修·科尔布克以科学、历史和文化的故事编织方式揭示了我们未来的新前景。在我们现在拥有的权力面前，这几乎是我们无法想象的未来——但我们将自己创造出来。
