书籍简介
《Bloomberg》、《时代》和《华盛顿邮报》评选出的2021年年度图书
《达芬奇传》和《史蒂夫·乔布斯传》的畅销书作者再次以 "引人注目"的方式讲述了诺贝尔奖得主珍妮弗·道德纳和她的同事如何发起一场革命的故事，使我们能够治愈疾病，抵御病毒，并拥有更健康的婴儿。
当珍妮弗·道德纳读六年级时，有一天她回到家，发现她的父亲把一本名为《双螺旋》的平装书放在她的床上。她把它放在一边，认为这是她喜欢的那些侦探故事之一。当她在一个下雨的星期六读到这本书时，她发现她是对的，在某种程度上。当她飞快地翻阅这本书时，她被发现生命密码的竞争背后的激烈戏剧性所吸引。尽管她的高中辅导员告诉她，女孩不会成为科学家，但她决定自己要做。
在了解自然界如何运作以及将发现转化为发明的热情的驱使下，她将帮助实现这本书的作者詹姆斯-沃森告诉她的自他共同发现DNA结构以来重要的生物学进展。她和她的合作者将自然界的一个好奇心变成了一个将改变人类的发明：一个可以编辑DNA的易于使用的工具。它被称为CRISPR，开启了一个充满医学奇迹和道德问题的勇敢新世界。
CRISPR的发展和创造冠状病毒疫苗的竞赛将加速我们向下一个伟大的创新革命过渡。过去半个世纪是一个数字时代，以微芯片、计算机和互联网为基础。现在我们正在进入一场生命科学革命。研究数字编码的儿童将与研究遗传编码的儿童一起。
我们是否应该利用我们新的进化——黑客力量来使我们更不容易受到病毒的影响？这将是一个多么美好的福音啊 那么预防抑郁症呢？嗯......我们是否应该允许父母，如果他们能够负担得起的话，提高他们孩子的身高、肌肉或智商？
在帮助发现CRISPR之后，杜德纳成为了与这些道德问题作斗争的先驱，并与她的合作者埃马纽埃尔-沙彭蒂耶一起获得了2020年的诺贝尔奖。她的故事是一个 "令人着迷的侦探故事"（《奥普拉日报》），涉及自然界深刻的奇迹，从生命的起源到我们物种的未来。
A Best Book of 2021 by Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Time, and The Washington Post
The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a "compelling" (The Washington Post) account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies.
When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.
Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book's author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his codiscovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions.
The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code.
Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm...Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids?
After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is an "enthralling detective story" (Oprah Daily) that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.
