Overview
<p> Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles a human being? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction—is it worse than the disease? </p> <p> We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps, a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars and to test our spouses for genetic maladies. </p> <p> We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes . . . </p> <p> Devilishly clever, <i>Next</i> blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn. </p> <p> Next challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and the bizarre with the genuinely frightening and disturbing, <i>Next</i> shatters our assumptions and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect. </p> <p> The future is closer than you think. </p>
