Synopsis
From the Introduction: "...Sixty years...seems to be the typical time interval from scientific breakthrough to full flower. Since scientists studies in 1944 a substance which they called DNA, and since this undoubtedly revolutionized the life sciences with full breakthrough force,...the year 2004 will see molecular biology introducing triumphs that can barely be imagined.... This book is an attempt, then, to explain the background of the breakthrough; the full meaning of the breakthrough and its immediate consequences; and finally, a forecast of what the breakthrough may bring about in the future - what the world of 2004 may be like, as seen through my own wishful eyes."
