Em 2001, o economista Jim O’Neill, trabalhando para o banco Goldman Sachs, criou o termo “BRICS” para se referir às maiores economias emergentes: Brasil, Rússia, Índia e China. Tais potências em ascensão, ele argumentou, deveriam ser os pilares de um novo sistema de finanças e de governança global. Em 2010 a África do Sul se juntou ao grupo, formando o BRICS, com “s” maiúsculo. E, graças a uma iniciativa conjunta do Brasil e da Rússia, tornou-se um conceito corrente nas relações internacionais, ganhando significado político por meio de um processo de institucionalização do grupo.

Humanity was not granted a heroic end. Instead, it bled to death from a thousand cuts. But where Earth fell apart, Mars pulled together. Engineered men and beasts, aided by Bees – an outlawed distributed intelligence – survived through co-operation, because there was simply no alternative.

Thousands of years ago, Earth's terraforming program took to the stars. On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life - but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth.

Imagine a future where we grow houses rather than build them. Where smartphones are living, clothing has opinions, and all human knowledge fits into a speck of DNA. A world where disease is a thing of the past, and the human lifespan is dramatically extended. To achieve this, says Adrian Woolfson – founder of the genome writing company Genyro – we must transform biology into a predictive, programmable engineering material. That means decoding the generative grammar of DNA: the language of life itself. We will then be able to author genomes – and, if we choose, even rewrite our own.
