Review on the book The Code Breaker

I am reading a book ‘The Code Breaker’ written by Walter Isaacson. It’s about CRISPER the gene editing tool, which is changing the way Biology worked till now.

I read only 150 pages till now which describes the journey of Doudna and charpentier, over 25 years which resulted into final Technology of Gene Editing using CRISPER- CAS9. I love the story telling of Walter and could feel the moments of discovery, connecting the dots to paint big picture and building the technology itself.

I can relate this book to the way at Intellect we built two technologies – Fabric Data Services as a platform and Turmeric technology. We experienced similar ‘moments of Aha’ when we connected little dots to paint the big picture.
