Biohack: A high-tech sci-fi thriller (Shadow… par J.D. Lasica
This was an intricate and exciting story. The characters were as well developed as the story allowed. The pace was good. The science was interesting. The abuse for financial gain was staggering.
I've always been a sucker for both adventure novels, cyberpunk, and Dan Brown novels and Biohack offers me everything all wrapped up in a message that's much more modern and current and future-focused than all that. I'm not done yet but I'm very excited about getting through the rest of it over the next couple weeks.
Catch and Kill is both wild adventure fantasy novel but also too plausible as a near future we will need to address that will surely make the nuclear or climate threat seem quaint by comparison.
It's a fun ride with heroines and villains and existential crises and the amazing technology of the very near future.
I was excited to read this adventure novel after reading Biohack. I'm a gun guy so I liked the attention to detail. It's not only a near future cyberpunk novel but it's solid adventure novel as well.
While it does peer into the future through a futuristic crystal ball, it's a fun time even if your just want a romp. I was addicted.
It takes me forever to read through a full novel so I read this s quickly as is possible for me.
If you like a little bit of pulp fiction, you'll love it. It's a fun read and also a good portal into both the tech and the threats of the world in under a decade. Exciting. Thrilling!… (plus d'informations)

Biohack: A Gender War Thriller
JD Lasica 2018
NO SPOILERS
A near-future techno-thriller (using currently available - if not exactly in this application - technology) explores the possibilities of genetic 'enhancement' for not just corrective or therapeutic applications, but for 'enrichment'... or possibly more nefarious purposes.
A thriller which never-the-less raises credible questions about bioethics, bioengineering, and genetic selection. Biohack doesn't provide answers; at this moment there are none. It *does* illustrate several scenarios in which the technology might be used - in beneficial and less than beneficial ways.
There are great potential benefits in the field of biotechnology and gengineering -- and equally or greater possibilities for abuse, not only from within the field, but from external sources and influences. I am looking forward to see where the author takes this in the future.
In the meantime I can see this book being used as a credible example in the study of privacy in an increasingly connected world, bodily autonomy and the question of whether we actually own or are just custodians of our genetic material, and the many possible ways all of the above might be exploited without our knowledge and consent.… (plus d'informations)
