About this product

Product Information

The next generation of computers are coming and they're like nothing we've seen before. Scientists are turning away from silicon chips and are instead using living systems to build machines that look set to change the world forever. The new biohackers speak in the language of cells and DNA, and they are asking some of the most important questions in modern science. What will computers look like in twenty years time? Is it possible to harness the immense power of biology for the purpose of computation? Should we even try?In this breathtaking book, the leading expert in the field journeys through the history of computation and beyond, to reveal just how the stuff of science fiction is rapidly becoming a reality. This new technology will change the way we think - not just about computers, but about the nature of life itself.
