Genetic Hacking: Your DNA Can Be Hacked!
Are you literate enough in the codes of life, of reading and writing DNA?
And should you be hacking your own biology?
This book explains why it is about time you hacked your own DNA and shows how the recent developments in genetics and genomics enable you to understand your personal biology. The benefits of bio-hacking yourself range from personalized medicine for your quantified self to looking into your ancient past to trace your personal ancestors to get to know yourself better.
Is it possible for you to evolve quicker than nature intended and can you be intentionally creating genetically superior children by design? In a slightly futuristic scenario, can you live healthily (and happily) ever after by hacking your genome and connectome, and then re-booting your genome with your connectome again and again?
And how would you cope with a newer version of bio-hacking crimes that could result as a consequence of an open-source DNA-hacking environment? What safety measure or policy exits, if any, to protect your 'wetware' from such threats?
Besides addressing these questions, the book also guides you into the ways to access your own genetic codes in layperson terminology. Find out more...

About the author
Avinash Khilnani
5 books2 followersStudied Applied Geophysics, but soon diverted to Mathematics, 'New' Physics and eventually Metaphysics, attempting to draw mathematical pictures of metaphysical absurdities.
Having authored recent technological developments in genetics/genomics and a simpler mathematical approach to speculative world of trading, he is now engaged in some more non-fictional to mildly fictional writing on futuristic science and speculative metaphysics, in an effort to combine objective scientific understanding with subjective knowing of human consciousness.
Although not a ritualistic kind, he subscribes to the view of God as the presence of absence of 'Maya', the illusory world, and is free from the illusion of free-will.
