The Gene

Amazing writing and an incredibly interesting field of study. Turns out that Bill Gates recommends great books :)

After reading Mukherjee's book, I firmly believe that genes will be the next “bytes” in our society. It's not a question of if - but when. It's made me question what role I want to have in this revolution...
