Description:
According to Juan Enriquez, 2001 will be remembered 100 years from now as the beginning of a new kind of world. The publication of the complete human genome is a line dividing history into "before" and "after", a defining event that will combine with developments in technology and economics to totally transform everything: how we work and play, how we conceive and rear our children, what we aspire to accomplish, and even what it means to be a human being. If you think the world has changed a lot in the last five years, brace yourself for the next five.

Like Being Digital, As the Future Catches You reads like a report from someone who has seen the future. But it resembles no other book. A typical page may contain just a few dozen words. Each seemingly discrete fact is like a chip in an intellectual mosaic that reveals its meaning and beauty only as you step back and see the big picture. Juan Enriquez is like the best teacher you ever had, the one who helps you to see something in a new light and makes you say, "Now I get it!"
The future is catching us all. Let it catch you with your eyes wide open.
