Synopsis
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles a human being? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction is it worse than the disease? We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps, a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars and to test our spouses for genetic maladies.We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes . . .Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn.Next challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and the bizarre with the genuinely frightening and disturbing, Next shatters our assumptions and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect.

    Interesting & Provocative

    I always enjoy reading Michael Crichton. This one is all about genetic engineering and I learned a lot, although at times I felt like my head would explode because there is a lot to understand about the subject and the way it is being manipulating by (surprise!) the politicians and the universities as much or more so than corporate America. There were a lot of characters and subplots and that made it difficult for me to follow. They do tie together in the end, so patience is warranted. I would have done better to read this in one sitting or over just a day or two, but circumstances prevented that. I think that made it just a bit harder to track all the players. I recommend the book. You will learn a lot about an important topic.

    NEXT by Michael Crichton

    “Prey” was to me; such an engrossing and truly scary read I just knew that “Next” would be the same thought provoking page-turner. Being led into the dark and twisted moral wilderness of geneticists and biotech research by Mr. Crichton is truly enlightening as it is frightening. The legal angle was just as perplexing; do we own our own cells, fluids, tissues or DNA? Who has a right to them? How do we know what our doctors or labs do with our samples they take or "discards" as they are sometimes called. Should we be able to profit if our cells can cure an illness? And what is next? His books are always so NOW and dead on regarding divided opinions of the controversial issues of the day. I enjoy the way he writes about a fictional story “so close to the future of a reality.” His stories are ...

    A fun read!

    Next is a little bit far out, but it is an easy read. Like other Crichton book, there is fact mixed in with a healthy dose of outrageous fiction. The story is a bit frightening, but also very funny. In involves genetic engineering run amok. This is a great beach book!
