Life at the Speed of Light: From the Double Helix to the Dawn of Digital Life

â‚¬Å“Venter instills awe for biology as it is, and as it might become in our hands.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Publishers Weekly

On May 20, 2010, headlines around the world announced one of the most extraordinary accomplishments in modern science: the creation of the worldâ‚¬s first synthetic lifeform. In Life at the Speed of Light, scientist J. Craig Venter, best known for sequencing the human genome, shares the dramatic account of how he led a team of researchers in this pioneering effort in synthetic genomicsâ‚¬"and how that work will have a profound impact on our existence in the years to come. This is a fascinating and authoritative study that provides readers an opportunity to ponder afresh the age-old question â‚¬Å“What is life?â‚¬Â at the dawn of a new era of biological engineering.
