Bio-Punk: Stories from the Far Side of Research

A collaborative work between scientists and ethicists — working at the forefronts of their respective fields — and short story writers, this collection attempts to predict some of the potential ethical side-effects of the groundbreaking biomedical research currently being developed. Exploring the increasingly gray area between the fantastical and that which is already within our reach — including programmable memories, nano-tech implants, fatherless reproduction, and interspecies reproduction — this unique volume fuses fact with fiction and speculates on the future of scientific progress. This book will appeal to science fiction fans and academics alike.
