Artificial Selection is a category for books that explore and imagine how humans intentionally shape life—past, present, and future. It spans nonfiction on selective breeding, domestication, agriculture, conservation, genetics, CRISPR, and synthetic biology, as well as critical histories of eugenics and the ethical, legal, and social questions these practices raise. In fiction, it includes speculative and dystopian stories of engineered organisms, designer humans, uplifted animals, and ecosystems transformed by biotech. Across genres, these works probe human agency over evolution, the promises and perils of redesigning living systems, and the moral, ecological, and cultural consequences of directing nature’s course.
