Genesis Machines: The New Science of Biocomputing

A new generation of computers is coming--and it's like nothing we've seen before. Today's leading scientists are building machines from real, wet, living biology. Cells, gels, and DNA strands are the "wetware" of the twentyfirst century, creating organic computers that open up revolutionary possibilities.

Tracing the roots of this cutting-edge science back to ancient times and revealing a brave new world to come, Genesis Machines describes how the stuff of science fiction is rapidly becoming a reality. This new technology will change the way we think, not only about computers--but about life itself.
