** NEW YORK TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER ** The Gene is the story of
one of the most powerful and dangerous ideas in our history from
the author of The Emperor of All Maladies. The story begins in an
Augustinian abbey in 1856, and takes the reader from Darwin's
groundbreaking theory of evolution, to the horrors of Nazi
eugenics, to present day and beyond - as we learn to "read" and
"write" the human genome that unleashes the potential to change the
fates and identities of our children. Majestic in its scope and
ambition, The Gene provides us with a definitive account of the
epic history of the quest to decipher the master-code that makes
and defines humans - and paints a fascinating vision of both
humanity's past and future. For fans of Sapiens by Yuval Noah
Harari, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking and Being Mortal
by Atul Gwande. 'Siddhartha Mukherjee is the perfect person to
guide us through the past, present, and future of genome science'
Bill Gates 'A thrilling and comprehensive account of what seems
certain to be the most radical, controversial and, to borrow from
the subtitle, intimate science of our time...Read this book and
steel yourself for what comes next' Sunday Times
