• If we were able to put every single solitary cancer cell that has a genomic - had their genome done in one place, we have the computing capacity to go in and look at what are the similarities and dissimilarities that make them work and don't work. And every expert will tell you, it is probably gonna exponentially increase the capacity to be able to find, A, cures, B, vaccines, and C, turn some cancers into chronic diseases, rather than it cost you your life.

• Le pregunté por qué los sangre pura me despreciaban tanto. Me contestó: "¿Y si la diferencia entre estratos sociales no se debiera a la genómica o a la excelencia inherente, ni siquiera a los dólares, sino a meras diferencias de conocimiento? ¿No significaría esto que toda la Pirámide está construida sobre arenas movedizas?... los fabricantes son espejos que se sostienen en las conciencias de los sangre pura; lo que los sangre pura ven reflejado allí les enferma. Así que te culpan por sostener el espejo

• A Machine to Make a Future is an insightful and creative contribution to the literature--both scholarly and journalistic--on contemporary genomics. By 'experimenting' with narrative genre, the authors hope to generate different insights into the world of genomics and biotechnology than ones generally presented in existing accounts. They succeed at that goal, providing an account that is ethnographically rich and analytically open to a world whose structure, implications, and outcomes are very much in the making.
