Gene Pool: Unnatural Selection (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

For thousands of years human beings have dreamed of immortality, of reversing the aging process, of enhancing beauty and retaining the vigor and vitality of youth – forever.In the year 2059 it is at last within our grasp. But as biologic engineers finally achieve total control over the fundamental mechanics of life and the ability to change the course of evolution, will this awesome power alter the meaning of love, the nature of relationships and society, and even the very definition of what it means to be human? Even in 2059, the weight of such questions has yet to trouble the consciousness of a world obsessed with the perfection of the human form. Such concerns are most decidedly not on the mind of Amadé Bertrand, a young, investigative journalist with the New York Times. She is worried about her career stalling out after a meteoric – and some would say undeserved – rise to the top of her profession. As Amadé ponders her next career move, an anonymous tip lands in her inbox about GeneTech, by far the largest and most powerful of the bioengineering companies. Amadé’s quest to follow up on the tip lead her to Whitfield Gray, a senior GeneTech executive with a dark secret that could destroy the company and threaten the biotech revolution. Drawn to the powerful and mysterious Whitfield, Amadé must decide between a burgeoning love and her career ambition as she uncovers a web of intrigue that leads from the GeneTech board room to the White House.
