Ok, I didn't actually read this book, I listened to it on my iPod. The story is fascinating and was really enjoyable for me. There are some sensitive topics that might not be for everyone, but the story kept me engaged over the 15+ hours of listening on my commute. I liked the audio book so much, I may read the actual book again.

A fantastic read, so far. One night I was up 3 hours past my normal bed time reading this book. The writing is great, the stories are fun, and it's about my favorite subject, Food.

A very interesting read about the dangers of genetic engineering and nanotechnology if left unchecked. The first few chapters focus on genetic engineering and nanotechnology, the final few chapters focus on some of the inhearent dangers of technology for technology's sake.

I felt that parts of the book were very well done, however I also felt that the overall point was made early in the book and that it could have been a lot shorter without losing its meaning.

This book is full of information. Unfortunately, the nuggets that are interesting are burried in repetative and often trite suggestions.

The auther tries to add credibility by quoting various pop idols who will be footnotes at best in history.

If you're looking for a good book on how to get started in making a difference in the world this is it, but the empahsis is on how to GET STARTED.
