I am writing a few short pieces on how genetics is marketed to decipher ancestry as I try to finish the book Tabula Raza. This first one was just published in the Boston Review (coincidentally on the same day that 23andMe went public). See links below...
Exploring the contradictory and interconnected aspects of dystopian and hopeful change, this book chronicles what I call "sci-non-fi" developments within human genetics that draw from our fascination with ancestry to re-map race thinking in liberal yet dangerously limited terms.
