Summary:
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same varieties? Human beings and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is normally that just why an adult human being resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There’s a fresh genetic treatment for medication addiction-is it worse compared to the disease?
We live in a time of momentous medical leaps; a period when it’s possible to market our eggs and sperm online for thousands or test our spouses for genetic about Next maladies. We live in a time when one fifth of most our genes are possessed by another person, and an unsuspecting person and his family members could be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain useful genes of their chromosomes .
Devilishly clever, Up coming blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and a couple of new possibilities can open at every turn. Next challenges our sense of truth and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and bizarre using the genuinely frightening and disturbing, Next shatters our assumptions, and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect.
The near future is closer than you imagine. Get accustomed to it.
Performed by Dylan Baker
