Summary
The three chapters in this Part of the book take an interesting turn from the rest of the book, one akin to a jumping off a flat page and into a new dimension, a new universe. These three chapters are not, primarily, about consuming genomics, but about how people, often consumers, who are not “the usual suspects,” are producing genomics, sometimes their own genomics. And, as in science fiction (and perhaps in science fact), the laws of nature are not necessarily the same in parallel universes, so the human laws dealing with this space – whether called DIY gene editing, nontraditional gene editing, or genetic biohacking – are not quite the same as those in the consuming space.
