About this product
Product Information
In this seminal book, Jeremy Rifkin explores the epic marriage between computer technology and genetic engineering, and the historic transition into the Age of Biotechnology. Already, Rifkin explains, our economy is undergoing a massive shift away from the Industrial Age and into an era in which giant life-science corporations are fashioning a bioindustrial world.Humanity is on the brink of wielding greater control over the shape of life--how we are born; how our food supply is created; the traits our children may have--than has ever been imagined. But with each step into this new era, we must ask ourselves: At what cost?

Exactly what I was looking for. The book is in great condition for a used book. Shipping was free and fast. I would recommend this seller and will probably buy more books in the future. Digital is wonderful, but it will never replace the written text held in one's hand.
