FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 12, 2006 One-Day Laydown on November 28, 2006 Around the World in the English Language by HarperCollins Publishers In his brilliant new blockbuster, Michael Crichton takes the reader into the realm of genetics: fast, furious and out of control. Prepare to enter a world where nothing is as it seems and a new set of possibilities is opening up at every turn. NEXT challenges your sense of what is happening, what is true and what is ethical. NEXT will overturn your assumptions of what you thought you knew. Provocative yet playful, dark and disturbing, NEXT is Michael Crichton as you've never seen him before. NEXT will have you asking yourself: Could your loved one be missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? It's 2006: do you know who all your children are? Do you know humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes? Do you want to design your own pet? Change the stripes on the fish in your aquarium? Or sell your eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars? Did you know one fifth of all your genes are owned by someone else? Come to think of it, could you and your family be pursued cross country just because you happen to have certain genes in your body? This is not just the world of the future-it's the world right now! Most of the events in this book have already happened. And the rest are just around the corner. Get used to it. 며칠전에도 내가 궁금증을 잠시 가졌다고 기록했었던 마이클크라이튼의 신작에 대한 얘기를 오늘 공식사이트에서 확인했다. 책 제목은 "NEXT"이고.. 아마도 내용은 현대의 유전공학에 대한 문제를 화두로 꺼낸 것 같다. 아무래도 전공분야 쪽에 가깝기 때문에 Jurassic Park 이후에 발달한 기술과 그로인해 생겨난 미래에 대한 또다른 시점을 재미있게 풀어나갈 거라 기대한다. 11월 28일에 발간이 된다니 교보쪽에 들어오려면 12월쯤은 될 것 같은데, 책이 출간될 날을 또 하루하루 기다리게 될것같다. |
