This is an entertaining and informative book about the state of gene editing technology. Discuss in a historical context it describes not only the technology but the history as well. The latter chapters discuss the ethical questions.

An excellent intro to the current state of DNA sequencing, the personalities behind some of the leading companies and technologies in the field and the ethical and cultural issues implicated by personal genomics.

This was a rather boring book. I wouldn't recommend you read it unless you had to.
