Tells a story that uses science to explain what life is and where it first came from, offering answers to the very grandest of questions before arriving at a fresh solution.
Prepare to be astoundedThere are moments when this book is so gripping it reads like a thriller * Mail on Sunday *
One of the most eloquent and genuinely thoughtful books on science over the past decade. You will not find a better, more balanced or up-to-date take on the origin of life or synthetic biology. Essential reading for anyone interested in the coming revolution, which could indeed rival the Industrial Revolution or the internet * Observer *
Fascinating. The reader's sense of awe at the well-nigh inconceivable nature of nature is suitably awakened. The extraordinary science and Rutherford's argument are worth every reader's scrutiny * Sunday Telegraph *
The perfect primer on the past and future of DNA * Guardian *
