'A wonderful farrago, energetically stirring up a lot of
scientific, medical, business and legal issues… marvellous.'
Evening Standard
‘Crichton has certainly done his research… his alarm is hard to
dispute… compelling… extremely funny.’ Sunday Times
`A satirical black-comedy thriller... Crichton writes likes Tom
Wolfe on speed... completely brilliant... top form.' Mail on
Sunday
Next is the new thriller from
Michael Crichton, and is the most exciting and most anticipated
publication of summer 2007. Is your loved one missing some body
parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner
table of the same species?
Do you know who all your children are? Do you know humans and
chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes? And why does an adult
human being resemble a chimp foetus?
There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction -- is it worse
than the disease? Ever wanted to design your own pet? Change the
stripes on the fish in your aquarium? Ever think to sell your
body fat -- or donate it to charity? Or sell your eggs and sperm
online for thousands of dollars?
Did you know one fifth of all your genes are owned by someone
else? Come to think of it, could you and your family be pursued
cross country just because you happen to have certain genes in
your body? 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. Most of the events in this book have already
happened. And the rest are just around the corner. Get used to
it
