Product Description
Review
"'Biocomputing is perhaps the most fascinating and potentially important area of science there is at the moment, and this book is an excellent introduction.' Professor Richard Jones, FRS, University of Sheffield 'Amos has witnessed the early years of this nascent science and writes about them with affection and enthusiasm' Sunday Times 'An eye-opening presentation... Amos makes the science accessible, with well-written and nicely structured explanations. It's clear that this field will continue to throw up dramatic advances.' New Statesman" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description
The next generation of computers are coming - and they're like nothing we've seen before. Scientists are turning away from silicon chips and instead are using real, wet, squishy, perhaps even living biology to build machines that could change the world forever. Cells, gels and DNA strands are the 'wetware' of the twenty-first century. Imagine taking cells from a cancer patient and programming them to be able to detect disease and prompt the body to cure itself. Or how about clothes woven with microchips and nanofibres to form wearable bio-weapons detection systems? Both revolutionary applications may be widespread in just ten years time. Exactly what breed of computer does the future hold? In this exhilarating book, the foremost expert in the field describes how this new technology will change the way we think - not just about computers, but about life itself.
