From Michael Crichton, the #1 bestselling author of Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain, comes an astounding, eye-opening look at the world of genetics: Next.

Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles a human being? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction--is it worse than the disease?

Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and genetic ownership shatters our assumptions.

Review:
"NEXT is one of Mr. Crichton's more un-put-downable novels. Its emphasis is on excitement."--New York Times

"[Crichton's] in top form with NEXT....There's a lot to like and to scare you."--USA Today

"[Crichton] invites a mass audience irresistibly into some of the Most Important Conversations We're Not Having."--Time magazine

"His plot, involving a score of main characters and a dozen different strands, defies summary but is completely brilliant."--Daily Mail (London)

"A compulsively readable beach book about the dawn of the biotech revolution."--National Review

"A cracking pace...fast-moving plot with highly detailed research."--Sunday Telegraph (Australia)

"Crichton addresses complex contemporary issues...into thrilling reads."--Newsweek

"Crichton creates a series of fascinating dramatic situations that hold a reader's attention right down to the last page."--NPR (All Things Considered)

"The writing is mentally sharp, with vignettes that make you wonder if you are reading satire or simply mild exagerration."--Houston Chronicle

"Crichton has created a series of vivid, thought-provoking morality plays, presenting key questions engendered by genetic research."--Globe and Mail (Toronto)
From the Publisher:
Devishly clever, NEXT blends fact and fiction into a
breathless tale of a new world where nothing is as it seems and a set of
new possibilities can open at every turn.
NEXT challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing
the comic and bizarre with the genuinely frightening and disturbing, NEXT
shatters our assumptions and revels shocking new choices where we least
expect.
The future is Closer Than You Think.
