The Gene: An Intimate History | Siddhartha Mukherjee

“Normalcy is the antithesis of evolution.”

“Can we make our genomes a little better, without making ourselves substantially worse?”

This #nonfiction book takes a very holistic approach to its subject, which I more than approve of. Aside from dumping on you a huge—and surprisingly digestible—load of info, both #scientific and #historical, it asks important moral questions without turning moralistic.

Highly recommended.

5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend this #nonfiction look at what technology does to the physical state of our brain. How does media, the web, and social media physical alter our brain? Carr explains the #scientific effects. He also explores the trade offs we make by using technology.

RamsFan1963 I remember reading this, it especially stuck with me about how your brain gears up when you're online, then gears down when you're reading. I find it hard to switch gears to read if I've been on social media too long. 2y

5 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I absolutely loved reading this science fiction, suspense, novel. I want to say so much but then I don't want to spoil it for anyone. The writing was awesome I love those novels that make you forget your reading a book. I was lost in words and having a party. This was the best feel good ending! Loved it! ❤❤❤❤❤ #BOTM #scientific

#October 23 - #Undead / #Zombies - The proper care and #feeding of zombies - a completely #scientific guide to the lives of the undead. I have had this #book forever & still haven't #read it!
