At the frontier of technology,
humanity is the experiment
I build because the future I want to live in doesn't exist yet
On the Wings of a Pig
In 2108, Dr. Samara Makinde finds herself caught between the rioting mobs of a dying Earth and the promise of a new life on a colony ship. When eccentric billionaire Aurelius Hofstadter offers her a spot on the Borlaug, she uncovers a secret that changes everything.
Now, she must navigate a world ravaged by a genetically-modified fungus, the mistrust of her fellow colonists, and the terrifying realization that humanity's last hope may be its greatest threat.
Charting the Future of Biotechnology
The final report from the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology highlights an action plan to secure U.S. leadership in biotechnology for national security and economic strength.
It confronts China's growing influence, emphasizes private sector engagement, explores defense applications, promotes innovation, builds the workforce, and fosters alliances.
