Genetic modification

"Genetic modification" as a book category covers works—both fiction and nonfiction—that center on altering the genomes of plants, animals, or humans and the scientific, ethical, social, and ecological consequences that follow. Nonfiction titles explain the biology and technology (CRISPR, gene therapy, transgenics), regulatory debates, and real-world applications like GM crops, medical treatments, and conservation genetics; fiction explores these ideas through thrillers, near-future science fiction, dystopias, and intimate dramas about identity, parenthood, and power. Common themes include scientific discovery and hubris, bioethics and justice, corporate and governmental control, unintended consequences in ecosystems and societies, and questions of what it means to be human. Books in the category range from accessible popular science and investigative reporting to speculative worldbuilding and character-driven moral quandaries, appealing to readers interested in cutting-edge science, policy, and the human stories behind technological change.
