Rise of the necrofauna: the science, ethics, and risks of de-extinction

What happens when you try to recreate a woolly mammoth - fascinating science, or conservation catastrophe?

In this book, Wray takes us deep into the minds and labs of some of the world's most progressive thinkers to find out.

She introduces us to renowned futurists like Stewart Brand and scientists like George Church, who are harnessing the powers of CRISPR gene editing in the hopes of 'reviving' extinct passenger pigeons, woolly mammoths, and heath hens.
