Wooot! I'm super excited about Michael Crichton's NEXT book - Check this sortta Microsoft viral marketing style web site on the book www.nextgencode.com - be sure to check out the Ads section on that web site.
Its not all fiction - www.nextgencode.com also points you to ethicsingenetics.com which is a fabulos site for up to date information on genetic break throughs and how it affects human ethics. The two most recent articles on Genetically Engineered Cats which will start shipping early next year and Chimera's created with Human and Rabbit embryo's are very interesting.
OMG I can't sleep till 28th now - LoL... ..and I've already been thinking .... ...maybe I should quit my job, go back to the university and study Genetics :)
