On The Future Of Species: Authoring Life By Means Of Artificial Biological Intelligence

On The Future Of Species by Adrian Woolfson is a bold, idea-rich work of popular science that peers into what happens when synthetic biology meets artificial intelligence and biology becomes something we can engineer. It’s the kind of future-facing nonfiction that will thrill curious readers while asking the questions we can’t afford to dodge.

Woolfson, founder of genome-writing company Genyro, argues that the next revolution won’t be digital but biological: learning the “grammar” of DNA so we can write genomes with intention. Starting with viruses and microbes, he explores how genome writing could lead to disease resistance, longer lives, new materials and even the creation (or return) of species—alongside the ecological and ethical risks.

Perfect for readers of science and technology, bioethics, and big-picture futurism, especially anyone fascinated by the future of humanity and our planet.
