Synopsis
A new generation of computers is coming--and it's like nothing we've seen before. Today's leading scientists are building machines from real, wet, living biology. Cells, gels, and DNA strands are the "wetware" of the twentyfirst century, creating organic computers that open up revolutionary possibilities.
Tracing the roots of this cutting-edge science back to ancient times and revealing a brave new world to come, Genesis Machines describes how the stuff of science fiction is rapidly becoming a reality. This new technology will change the way we think, not only about computers--but about life itself.

Review
"'Biocomputing is perhaps the most fascinating and potentially important area of science there is at the moment, and this book is an excellent introduction.' Professor Richard Jones, FRS, University of Sheffield 'Amos has witnessed the early years of this nascent science and writes about them with affection and enthusiasm' Sunday Times 'An eye-opening presentation... Amos makes the science accessible, with well-written and nicely structured explanations. It's clear that this field will continue to throw up dramatic advances.' New Statesman"
