Not what I was hoping. Focused more on scientists and pioneers in genetic research than genes themselves.
I listend to this on audiobook and found Mukherjee an excellent reader! I got a lot out of the book and recommend it to anyone who is interested in the subject.

I loved Emperoro of all Maladies and while The Gene was pretty genious, too, it lacked a bit of humanity I guess. While Emperor told various stories of people afflicted with cancer and left me with a feeling of cautious optimism, The Gene was much more focused on the science side of, well, science. This made me struggle at times to keep reading and understanding what I just read.
Still it's a very interesting book and well worth reading. Just bring a little more time and a lot of coffee or tea. And maybe put your phone down far away, because I kept googling stuff which kept leading me away from the initial bit of information I was looking up.

Incredibly accessible insights into genes, genetics, and how humanity reacts to new discoveries in the space.
Our understanding and manipulation of genes are a major part of our future. Like the Byte and the Atom, the Gene literally and speculatively will define our future. As much, or more than AI.

Truly informative and very complete, just like our code with all its letters and instructions to our body. Quite a fascinating story, from Mendel to Watson, from the authors family to Chinese teams trailing the edge and making us wonder about humanity.
Audio edition needs some kind of guidance, got lost on the chapters as the book is very dense on information.
