About the book
Siddhartha Mukherjee offers an engaging narrative of the history of genetics, from Gregor Mendel's experiments with peas to contemporary advances in gene editing. More than a science book, it is a saga about humanity's obsession with unraveling the secrets of heredity and life.
Mukherjee interweaves rigorous science with personal and moral stories, exploring how the understanding of genes has transformed medicine, agriculture, and our very conception of humanity. A work that makes the complexity of molecular biology accessible while raising profound questions about ethics and identity.
