The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee

5.0

For the dislike I have for biology as a subject, this book was a page turner delving into the life story of the gene. Well crafted storyline in a technical domain , got to learn a lot about eugenics. The future unfortunately remains hazy in real life and the book. This book makes for some heavy duty reading with colorful splashes of the characters in the world of genetics from Watson and Crick , Mendel and the whole gang.
