The book traces the evolution of biotechnology in the broadest
sense from prehistoric organismal manipulation by our first settled
ancestors through to speculation about future directions for the
technology as it increasingly intersects with other high
technologies such as IT and Nanotech. The trajectory is
demonstrated by various events throughout history that have
intersected or built on one another to lead to the forward
progression of a technology. Obviously, with such a broad canvas
much selectivity is involved in the choices made to advance the
narrative and, while the subjects chosen are not capricious, they
are influenced by the author's perspective. In addition, I have
made some attempt, where validated resources exist, to present my
perspective on how individual personalities and their particular
contextual experience influenced the direction in which they
carried the science or the science carried them.
