Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity. After 3.8 billion years humankind is about to evolve... through a new set of rules. 'Hacking Darwin' is the first book to both fully and commercially explore the fascinating and controversial effect genetic engineering will have on the future of the world. Geopolitics and biotechnology expert Jamie Metzl reveals how society is on the brink of incredible new science where the power to 'upgrade' our children, eliminate diseases, and resurrect extinct species will shake the core foundations we've embraced since the dawn of time.

The book explores Western reactions to human rights violations in Cambodia during the tumultuous period from 1975 to 1980, characterized by the Khmer Rouge's brutal regime, a Vietnamese invasion, civil conflict, and famine. It contends that the Vietnamese invasion in December 1978 compelled Western nations to navigate a complex dilemma between advocating for the individual human rights of Cambodians and pursuing their own geopolitical interests.
