The Code Breaker

sheldon_rapoza shared a tip "As with every other book by Isaacson, this story of Jennifer Doudna is fascinating. We are at the very early stages of gene editing and this book covers the whole story. So many great themes and reasons to read this book ranging from gene modification, bio hacking, the ethic and morals of “playing god”, women rising in power (two Nobel prize winners star in this book), as well as the current pandemic we are in. Not a more prescient book to read now than this."
