Items related to How to Clone the Perfect Blonde: Making Fantasies Come...
In an attempt to engineer the most popular science book ever, Nelson and Hollingham try to make our everyday fantasies come true using the very latest in scientific theory: the dating game simplified with human cloning, righting everyday mistakes with time travel, avoiding the dreaded commute using teleportation and flying cars, plus living forever, always winning, becoming a permanent size 12 or making your home townor place of work disappear forever. While the humour of the fantasy is always kept in view and addressed, the book takes a detailed look at the cutting edge science that just could make it possible. The topics touched on include: biotechnology, quantum mechanics, gene therapy, time travel, parallel universes, block holes, genetic modification, bionics, cybernetics, crygenics, nanotechnology, teleportation and antigravity.
