Features: This book is a popular science and futurology work about genetic technology, aiming to clarify the current hot topics in genetic technology development. More importantly, it seeks to tell readers the profound impact genetic technology will have on our world. From cutting-edge science to daily life, from law to ethics, from lifestyle to survival, everything is either currently or about to be impacted by this powerful force. Moreover, since most readers will personally experience this transformation, how to benefit from it or at least how to cope with it has become an urgent issue for everyone to consider, which is also one of the purposes of this book. In the age of genetics, we will see some biohackers assembling deadly viruses on biocomputers like playing a puzzle game. Although we have already found ways to prevent most harmful viruses, as the saying goes, "the Tao is high, but the devil is higher," these biohackers continuously modify or add new genes to the viruses they create, enabling them to evade existing surveillance measures.
