Siddhartha Mukherjee chronicles the quest to decipher the master-code that instructs our bodies and defines our humanity. Weaving together personal narrative, historical inquiry, and scientific analysis, the text examines the profound implications of genetic research from Mendel’s pea plants to the modern era of genome editing. It serves as both a comprehensive biography of the gene and a meditation on the ethical complexities inherent in manipulating the fundamental building blocks of life.
