my aphrodisiac, my intoxication

In coffee city, we borrowed heaven

I found this book in my department's library and thought it was interesting so i brought it home for a good read. The book is called "As the Future Catches You: How Genomics & Other Forces Are Changing your Life, Work, Health & Wealth by Juan Enriquez. This book attempts to capture the trajectory of technological progress and understand the forces shaping our social and economic futures. Enriquez argues that February 2, 2001--the date that anyone with Internet access could contemplate the entire human genome--is akin to 1492 and Columbus's discovery of America. Instead of a new continent however, Enriquez sees the alphabet of DNA (A, adenine; T, thymine; C, cytosine; and G, guanine) and predicts that it will be the "dominant language and economic driver of this century."

Haven't actually read it fully but a page dedicated to Brunei, His Majesty and the Empire Hotel would be an interesting read, wouldn't it? hehe
