Reviews for After the Genome: A Language for Our Biotechnological Future
"Hyde and Herrick guide us in thinking critically about the terms, rhetorical dimensions, and stakes involved in the extraordinarily important investigation, innovation, and debate surrounding our biotechnological future. They gather a diverse dozen sages of biotechnological wisdom, give them an incisive framework for discussion, and invite us to listen, reflect, and travel into the future we are forming."
