From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of The Emperor of All Maladies—a magnificent history of the gene and a response to the defining question of the future: What becomes of being human when we learn to “read” and “write” our own genetic information?

The extraordinary Siddhartha Mukherjee has a written a biography of the gene as deft, brilliant, and illuminating as his extraordinarily successful biography of cancer. Weaving science, social history, and personal narrative to tell us the story of one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs of modern times, Mukherjee animates the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices.

Throughout the narrative, the story of Mukherjee’s own family—with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness—cuts like a bright, red line, reminding us of the many questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In superb prose and with an instinct for the dramatic scene, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation—from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Morgan to Crick, Watson and Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome.

As The New Yorker said of The Emperor of All Maladies, “It’s hard to think of many books for a general audience that have rendered any area of modern science and technology with such intelligence, accessibility, and compassion…An extraordinary achievement.” Riveting, revelatory, and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, and an essential preparation for the moral complexity introduced by our ability to create or “write” the human genome, The Gene is a must-read for everyone concerned about the definition and future of humanity. This is the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master.

最初拿到《基因传》,以为这只是一本科普读物,但当我读过之后,发现这本书的故事性也是蛮强的,而且书中的每个故事,都跟我们有关系。开始我甚至觉得这本500多页的“大块头儿”很难攻克,但是翻过几页之后,我感觉这本书就像推理小说一样,逻辑清晰、结构严谨。作者每每遇到问...

如果不写他自己家那点破事就更好了

从门德尔植物园的豌豆到美国二十年代的优生学实践,从Paul Berg与学生们在Venus castle的饮酒对谈到遭遇失败的基因修改实践,Mukherjee的基因编年史用一种荡气回肠的方式自由的穿过自然科学研究与社会生活的隐形鸿沟。这在里,作为读者,我们看得见学者的坚韧,尊严,或者孤傲,也感受得到一门科学如何在各方力量的裹挟缠斗中寻求新的突破。
