Before the computer, there was a far more powerful code: the one that builds life itself. The Gene: An Intimate History is the gripping biography of this fundamental idea. Siddhartha Mukherjee takes us on a thrilling journey from a humble monk’s garden to the modern ethical dilemmas of CRISPR. Part detective story, part profound family memoir, this book chronicles the brilliant minds, epic discoveries, and haunting questions that surround our genetic blueprint. It’s the story of who we are, where we came from, and where we are going next.
