Summary:
Is someone you care about missing some body parts? Are blondes getting extinct? Is certainly everyone at the dinner table of the same varieties? Humans and chimpanzees differ in mere 400 genes; is usually that just why an adult human being resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There’s a new genetic cure for drug addiction-is it even worse compared to the disease?
We reside in a time of momentous technological leaps; a time when it’s feasible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars or check our spouses for genetic about Next maladies. We reside in a time when one 5th of all our genes are owned by another person, and an unsuspecting person and his family members could be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain useful genes within their chromosomes .
Devilishly clever, Up coming blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a fresh world where nothing is what it appears, and a couple of fresh possibilities can open at every turn. Next challenges our sense of truth and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and bizarre with the genuinely terrifying and disturbing, Following shatters our assumptions, and reveals surprising new choices where we least anticipate.
The near future is closer than you imagine. Get accustomed to it.
Performed by Dylan Baker
