An epic, dazzling history of the idea that defines us.

From Gregor Mendel's pea plants to the discovery of DNA and the CRISPR revolution in gene-editing, The Gene tells the story of how we came to understand heredity - to decipher the master-code that makes and defines humans - land how that knowledge now allows us to rewrite life itself. Siddhartha Mukherjee combines scientific insight with personal history, weaving in his own family's struggles with mental illness to explore the moral frontiers of genetics.

This is science writing of the highest order, humane, lyrical, and profound, showing how the study of genes illuminates both our biological destiny and our deepest hopes.
