First Edition

This is a brilliant book but it should really have been called “The Code Breakers” as it’s not a complete biography of Jennifer Doudna.

The Code Breaker is billed as a biography of scientist Jennifer Doudna as told in a first person narrative by historian Walter Isaacson. It is also a very engaging story about becoming a scientist, DNA and RNA discoveries, CRISPR, and so much more.

The Code Breaker is an examination of how life as we know it is about to change – and a brilliant portrayal of the woman leading the way. ‘The Code Breaker’s confident, cinematic style makes Crispr accessible like never before, taking readers on a journey that is exciting, as well as ethically treacherous.’

‘The CRISPR history holds obvious appeal for Walter Isaacson, a biographer of Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci. In “The Code Breaker” he reprises several of his previous themes — science, genius, experiment, code, thinking different — and devotes a full-length book to a female subject for the first time.
