informative slow-paced

3.0

interesting, especially the first half, but the second half dragged a bit. felt that the point could’ve been explained with less repetition/circularity in a lot of the chapters, but i did already know a lot about it so not sure if that’s why. probably better suited to someone who hasn’t read anything about gene technology before! still some interesting insights though, but as an austitic person i didn’t appreciate how the somewhat ableist and frankly very outdated way that author refers to autism in the chapters on using genetics to cure disorders.
