Blog #7 "Life at the Speed of Light by, Craig Venter 2013
I have just fished my book "Life at the speed of light", what the author last discussed was explaining the key parts to the DNA molecule . He was saying how these chromosomes are important and are key factors in the DNA molecule. ATCG to be precise, he explained that ATCG are the letters, that help create DNA. So he thought how could this make a difference if we engineer that DNA and give it special abilities. This made the author stop and think and ask the question, "Is it really possible to move at the speed of light?"
This book provides a glimpse of the future where he sees every home possible having a biological converter, similar to a 3-D printer. This book was just as informative as it was interesting. You could tell that the author had a passion for this subject by the word choices he used and how well he expxplained it. It was fascinating to me however maybe questionable to others on "why would anyone want to transmit the code for a genome at the speed of light." What I noticed from reading this book was that the author did not just want to bore the reader with statistics, past history and a load of facts on DNA. Instead he wanted to explain to audience about his theory of moving at the speed of light. So it's a very big surprise at end because he doesn't speak this way. Overall this book was very Interesting and I learned some new things I had know idea about. I really do suggest the book if you have a love for science and want to learn new things! I would give it 4 stars if I could.
