THE MUTANT PROJECT by Eben Kirksey
THE MUTANT PROJECT by Eben Kirskey was featured in The Wall Street Journal. Amy Dockser Marcus writes: “Kirksey’s exploration of the debates over genetic modification eventually takes him around the world....[He] paints a detailed and nuanced portrait of Dr. He without condoning his actions...In examining Crispr, it becomes clear, we are called upon to examine ourselves too. By the end of THE MUTANT PROJECT, Dr. Kirksey has returned to where he began, trying to assess what Dr. He’s experiment has unleashed. The central question is not so much Crispr’s safety or efficacy as what kind of world it will help create." St. Martin’s Press published THE MUTANT PROJECT on November 10, 2020.
