| Have you ever wanted to reinvent yourself? If you’ve thought about change during the pandemic, you’re not alone, but futurist Amy Webb is looking at the idea of transformation on a molecular level. Her new book, The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology, examines cellular engineering and the possibilities of a world where “it’s possible to reprogram the fundamental units of life.” From canceling aging to living underground, synthetic biology provides methods for reinvention that are a bit more advanced than a new pandemic haircut. Check out the latest interview from our Author Talks series to understand the potential of synthetic biology—and how it could help us create better futures. |
