"A thrill ride through the dangerous intersection where the human genetics revolution and aggressive big power rivalries meet." &#151;Richard Clarke, former White House terrorism czar and New York Times bestselling author of Against All Enemies"Genesis Code is both a high-octane thriller exploring what could happen if international politics drive the human genetic revolution and a compelling love story touching the core of what it means to be a good old-fashioned human being. Read this book and let the conversation about the future of our species begin." &#151;Sanjay Gupta, CNN chief medical correspondent and New York Times&#150;bestselling author&#147;Genesis Code is a highly original and thoroughly gripping account of a nightmare that may yet prove all too real. I read it in one sitting&#151;I could not put it down. A thrilling tale written with heart-pounding authority.&#8221; &#151;Kati Marton, author of the New York Times bestseller, Paris&#151;A Love Story"A spellbinding odyssey into our genetic future. Jamie Metzl is a supreme storyteller who entrances his readers with deep and surprising insights into science, politics, and the human condition." &#151;Eric Garcetti, mayor of Los Angeles&#147;An old-fashioned hard-boiled thriller . . . Metzl knows his science, and the detail is elegantly done while the novel moves at a nonstop pace over 41 days. Metzl provides a believable look at a not-too-distant future where science, politics, religion, economics and the ability to report the "truth" are all inseparably bound together.&#8221; &#151;Kirkus Reviews&#147;Metzl offers up a tense vision of the near future with this science fiction thriller.&#8221; &#151;Publishers Weekly"Metzl... has a strong command of the financial, political and bioethical questions at the heart of his fast-paced dystopian novel." &#151;Washington Post"The plot is stellar and well paced. . . . The science on the DNA enhancement research is fascinating. . . . Fans of sci-fi and mystery will definitely enjoy Genesis Code." &#151;Portland Book Review"Riveting...a real page-turner...a vivid, exciting and well-paced thriller...with a message:...that we must all learn to use wisely the scientific advances that our greatest geniuses uncover." &#151;World Policy Blog

A Thriller of the Near Future

Genesis Code

"Admittedly written as the text for a course on the nation's capital, this book provides a sprightly, informative, and often illuminating portrait of Washington, D.C. Although aimed at D.C. college students, it could also act as a travel guide...the audience could be wide...the book's ten chapters eloquently and adroitly explore such subjects as Washington's heritage of design (the L'Enfant Plan and the McMillan Commission), its memorials and monumentality, its host of museums, its politics, its economy, and its society, rich and poor. The authors especially focus on the city's unique and constraining geographic and political boundaries and Washington's long, rich, but troubled racial history. Unlike a travel guide, all of these discussions are finely nuanced." - J. F. Bauman, University of Southern Maine, Choice January 2015 52:52-2735

“This book deserves to be widely read by both researchers and practitioners, especially in Anglophone countries. It is refreshing in its emphasis on the importance of theory as well as evidence. The stimulus for the approach used, many of the examples of preventive work described, and much of the research that is drawn on, come from Scandinavian countries and from Norway in particular.” (Nick Tilley, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, January, 2017)“It is a useful book, especially for all those looking for a general overview on crime prevention frameworks. In addition, the book offers a good tool for ordinary practitioners and decision-makers to implement diverse and complementary crime prevention measures and to not restrain to the more common ones. The model is simple and can help to think strategically in the frame of public policy to prevent crime.” (Andrea Díaz Rozas, Oñati Socio-legal Series, Vol. 7 (6), 2017)

&#8220;Darcy Lockman delves into the baffling inequity of domestic life in this well-researched and deeply personal book. Crucially, she doesn&#8217;t just ask, &#8216;How did we get here?&#8217; but goes even further with &#8216;What can we do about it?&#8217; Lockman calls on both men and women to question gender entitlements, actively negotiate family life, and commit to fairness. Thoughtful and thought-provoking . . . there were many times when I was reading this book that I found myself nodding and saying &#8216;Yes.&#8217; A worthy addition to a long-overdue conversation.&#8221;

“Text thus presents a broad topology of a potential field of interrogation. … recommend this book as both an introduction to the proposed field of Žižekian media studies itself, but also as an important overview of the evolution of psychoanalytic theory for a postmodern present. … An admirable job is done in the introduction to make the reader as a whole quite accessible and to present the current state of psychoanalysis and media studies in a historical and philosophical context.” (Sean Rupka, Canadian Journal of Communication, Vol. 41, 2016)"Flisfeder and Willis completely reshape our understanding of the history of psychoanalytic film theory by contextualizing it through Slavoj i ek's impact. i ek and Media Studies comes at a time when contemporary psychoanalytic film theory has changed substantially and this contribution is thus required reading." - Hilary Neroni, Film and Television Studies, University of Vermont, USA and author of The Subject of Torture: Psychoanalysis, Biopolitics, and Media Representations

"One thing that makes reading i ek so interesting and (let's be honest) entertaining is the way he engages popular culture and media. Unfortunately the impact of this effort has been largely underappreciated within the discipline of Media Studies. This book repairs that deficiency by developing a distinctly i ekian approach to media scholarship. It is indispensable for anyone interested in i ek and a must-read for students, teachers, and researchers in Media, Film, and Communication Studies." - David J. Gunkel, Professor, Northern Illinois University, USA and author of The Machine Question and Heidegger and the Media
