"A Crack in Creation" is a book about the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. The book describes the science behind the discovery and its potential uses in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. The authors also discuss the ethical considerations and potential risks of the technology. The book advocates for responsible governance and regulation of genome editing to ensure its safe and ethical use. I can say that overall I liked this book.

Gene editing holds the promise of life-changing treatments and in some cases, lifesaving cures. But there are other profound implications of CRISPR technology: it can be used not just to treat diseases in living humans but also to prevent diseases in future humans.

“Humans have been reshaping the physical world for millennia, but the effects have never been as dramatic as they are today. Industrialization has caused climate change that threatens ecosystems around the globe, and this and other human activities have precipitated a surge in species extinction that is ravaging the diverse populations of creatures with which we share this earth.”

...and I have spent the majority of my career in a laboratory, conducting research on topics that most people outside of my field have never heard of.

“For the roughly one hundred thousand years of modern humans’ existence, the Homo sapiens genome has been shaped by the twin forces of random mutation and natural selection. Now, for the first time ever, we possess the ability to edit not only the DNA of every living human but also the DNA of future generations—in essence, to direct the evolution of our own species.”
