The Mutant Project: Inside the Global Race to Genetically Modify Humans

About the book to come out by Eben Kirksey

Hey y’all. FREE BOOKS! I just learned that Good Reads is giving away copies of the Mutant Project. https://www.goodreads.com/…/312845-the-mutant-project…

The stories of amazing human beings who have become friends are told in the book–namely Matt Sharp, Tristan Roberts, Jay Johnson, Tamarra, and Gregor Wolbring.

The book also offers an insider account of the controversial birth of #luluandnana in the lab of Jiankui He. Ideas presented by Ruha Benjamin, Charis Thompson, Catherine Bliss, Daniel Kevles, and many others at a 2015 Gene Editing Summit feature in the book. Donna Haraway graciously spent serious time with me, helping unravel issues related to science, justice, and biocapital in a concluding chapter. Serious thanks are also due to Adi Zee, David Ishee, Machiavelli Davis, Mark Harrington, Richard Jeffreys, Fan Yang, Mary Maggic, Britt Wray, Jennifer R. Merchant, Emily Martin, Richard Cone, Alondra Nelson and so many others. Send me your snail mail addresses–my free author copies are also coming soon.
