Every scientist has read one or more Utopian novels. The best known - Brave New World , The Shape of Things to Come , and even Planet of the Apes - have biological themes. They tell of a day when the human race will undergo genetic disaster because of the machinations of scientists. In Bicycling to Utopia , award-winning scientist Steve Jones looks at the future of human evolution from the perspective of current developments in human genetics. Together with other essays by experts in their fields, including Mary Archer, Alan Maynard, and Michael O'Shea, this is an authoritative and accessible summary of current thinking in many areas of science and technology. This book is intended for non-scientists wishing to learn about contemporary science and technology, and the history of these subjects. Scientists and technologists who wish to learn about developments in fields outside their own.
