For readers of books like Collapse and The Tipping Point- books with big insights into major trends.

If you think the world has changed dramatically in the last five years, you haven't seen anything yet.

You will never look at the world in the same way after reading As the Future Catches You. Juan Enriquez puts you face to face with unprecedented political, ethical, economic, and financial issues, dramatically demonstrating the cascading impact of the genetic, digital, and knowledge revolutions on all our lives.

Genetics will be the dominant language of this century. Those who can ""speak it"" will acquire direct and deliberate control over all forms of life. But most countries and individuals remain illiterate in what is rapidly becoming the greatest single driver of the global economy. The choice is simple- Either learn to surf new and powerful waves of change-or get crushed trying to stop them. The future is catching us all. Let it catch you with your eyes wide open.
