    • Very, very bad
    • Quite possibly one of the worst books I've ever read. Felt as if I was being preached and talked down to for most of the book.

      Is this helpful?

Book Description

'주라기 공원'의 작가 마이클 크라이튼의 신작. 유전학과 생물공학에 기반을 두고, 인간과 침팬지는 고작 400개의 유전인자에 의해 달라지게 되었다는 것을 전제로 유전자를 둘러싸고 일어나는 이야기를 박진감있게 그렸다. 금발머리, 혹은 사랑하는 강아지의 유전자를 보존하는 회사, 보존된 유전자를 통해 원하는 것을 얻으려는 사람들... 어쩌면 가까운 미래의 모습일 수도 있는, 이 소설은 우리로 하여금 기술과 인간의 욕망에 대해 진지한 성찰을 하게 한다.

Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles a human being? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction--is it worse than the disease?

We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps, a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars and to test our spouses for genetic maladies.

We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes...

Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn.

Next challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and the bizarre with the genuinely frightening and disturbing, Next shatters our assumptions and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect.

The future is closer than you think. [예스24 제공]
