The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee

The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee

Mukherjee begins with a visit to a cousin in a Calcutta institution — mental illness runs through his father's family across three generations — and then goes back to Mendel counting peas.

From there: Darwin, the horror of the eugenics movement in America and then Germany, Watson and Crick, the discovery of how genes are regulated, the Human Genome Project, and finally gene editing and the questions CRISPR forces about what we are permitted to change. The personal thread returns throughout and gives the science its stakes.

From the Pulitzer-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies. One of the best popular science books of the decade.
