Dr Martyn Amos was awarded the world's first Ph.D. in DNA computing; he is currently a Senior Lecturer in Computing and Mathematics at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. His webpage is http://www.martynamos.com"'Biocomputing is perhaps the most fascinating and potentially important area of science there is at the moment, and this book is an excellent introduction.' Professor Richard Jones, FRS, University of Sheffield 'Amos has witnessed the early years of this nascent science and writes about them with affection and enthusiasm' Sunday Times 'An eye-opening presentation... Amos makes the science accessible, with well-written and nicely structured explanations. It's clear that this field will continue to throw up dramatic advances.' New Statesman"
Silicon chips are out. Today's scientists are using real, wet, squishy, living biology to build the next generation of computers. Cells, gels and DNA strands are the 'wetware' of the twenty-first century. Much smaller and more intelligent, these organic computers open up revolutionary possibilities. Tracing the history of computing and revealing a brave new world to come, Genesis Machines describes how this new technology will change the way we think not just about computers - but about life itself.

'An elegant primer on a mind-blowing technology that could change our lives out of all recognition... The story of how Adleman built the first primitive DNA computer is as compelling as anything by Isaac Asimov or Philip Dick.' Andrew Smith, Mail on Sunday
