Ben, This is a little off the subject, but if you are interested in genetic engineering and other types of nanotechnology, you would probably enjoy the book, "The Engines of Creation", by K. Eric Drexler. It is well written, easy to understand (I don't come from a strong science background, but rather a strong SF background!), and is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read. It discusses coming advances in molecular technology that will enable such things as the reversal of aging! Such technology will also allow the creation of mechanical super-computers, which are much faster and more capable than the electronic computers of today. The mechanical aspects will be on a molecular level, rather than a modern day version of a Babbage engine. Rodney Somerstein 73167,2165
