وصف الناشر
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why an adult human being resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction—is it worse than the disease?
We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps; a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars or test our spouses for genetic maladies. We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes . . .
Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn. Next challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and bizarre with the genuinely frightening and disturbing, Next shatters our assumptions, and reveals shocking new choices where we least expect.
The future is closer than you think. Get used to it.
Performed by Dylan Baker

Gerrard Needs A Cape
Who and what are you and how do you know? Are you sure? Gerrard was worth the listen alone and in some cases is the smartest character in the novel! Thank you for bringing this topic to the masses?!
NEXT, by Michael Crichton
Waste of my money. Kept waiting for the book to get better finally gave up. This book is hard to follow with all the different characters and situations. Surprisingly involves a lot of sexual contacts, not conducive to whatever this book is supposed to be about. It jumps from one thing to another, hard to keep up. I’m surprised because all the other books I’ve read by Michael Crichton have been very good.
