Jennifer Doudna, the world-renowned scientist behind CRISPR, "one of the most monumental discoveries in biology" (New York Times), explains her discovery, describes its power to change the future of all life, and warns about its use.

Few discoveries have changed the course of human history. This book is about the most recent and potentially the most powerful and dangerous of them all.

CRISPR is an invention that allows you to rewrite the genetic code. Thanks to this, dreams of genetic manipulation have become a reality: it has become possible to cure disease and alleviate suffering, create new sources of food and energy, and reorganise any species, including humans, for our own purposes.

The future of humanity - and all life on Earth - is at stake. This book is an essential guide to the journey that now lies ahead.
