Age-Decoded Edición Kindle

What could possibly go awry with the advent of CRISPR genetic engineering? This novel is a fascinating exploration of the impact of technology on humanity. As with previous scientific breakthroughs such as nuclear and IT, genetic engineering will have double-edged implications. First-time author Dr. Mark Ryall beautifully crafts this reality through the lives, feelings, and struggles of several compelling characters in the near future. It's a future he forecasts for you, for all of us. The story's heroine is Nobel-winning genomicist Dr. Frieda Sengmeuller, who invents "age-decoding" - a genetic engineering method to stop human aging. When most humans are age-decoded in the year 2053, Authority leaders secretly use CRISPR to entrench their power by removing people's "propensity to dissent". They contain Frieda underground for two centuries and force her to research "reverse-aging". Frieda's daughter Ximena teams up with government insider Tavon Brooks in a desperate attempt to rescue her. This literary work depicts the moral and political challenges humans could face with the impending tsunami of genetic engineering."Into this meshwork of interesting character and action, Ryall weaves many disparate ideas, scientific theories, speculations, and ethical considerations, somewhat in the manner of Melville on the lore and science of whales in 'Moby Dick'." (Jeff Mahoney, columnist/reviewer, Hamilton Spectator) "An engaging and suspenseful account of a dystopian future where genetic breakthroughs have enabled immortality but at a price. This novel deals with important issues of the ethics of technology in societies and its impact on power structures and perception. It is told through the lens of likeable characters caught up in strange but seemingly possible future and is well worth a read!"(Thomas Broen, artist, the Hamilton Cotton Factory)"This book was thought-provoking and inciteful. In a world that is forever focused on staying youthful, the future advances in genetics bring some unexpected outcomes. This is a great read." (Devon Gubasta, office administrator, Toronto School Board)"What a great debut novel from Mark Ryall. The concept is excellent, the story is well told, and builds to a great ending. The character development is well done and make you want the good guys to succeed. I really enjoyed this book and have recommended it to many others." (Kris Zelinsky, SciFi fan and teacher) Leer más
