Despite the difficult name and seemingly difficult genre, this book is easy to read and highly informative. It is a series of essays, each 2-5 pages long. They each address a different aspect of current work in biotechnology and genetic engineering. They are informative and leave the judgement to the end, finally telling whether each technology is something to provide hope for the future, something to be afraid of, or something that is probably impossible to achieve.
