Brave new worlds

I just finished reading a marvelous book titled "BRAVE NEW WORLDS " by bryan appleyard, and i want to admit that it is one of the books you just can't afford to miss even if you have an iota of interest in genetics.Although i never read any book on genetics as such but this one is superb.Bryan appleyard explores the promise and danger of genetic manipulation.With genocentrism becoming the dominant orthodoxy,genes can be blamed or credited with determining everything from sexual orientation to criminal behaviour and religious belief ,scientists are being blamed for everything. At a time when ethics take the place for everything this book tells the reader how much is actually enough. A book for you shelf!!
