The authors of the book were computer scientist and physicist when they read Richard Dawkins's 1976 classic The Selfish Gene twenty years ago, and the book changed their lives and they chose to pursue evolutionary biology as their career. And the book was the authors attempt to look at the evolution from a system perspective, and the authors delivered. The book is not an easy read even after the authors masterfully used cross discipline analogy to get abstract and advanced genomics concepts to general audience level.
I am sure a lot of concepts and insights in the book already started to make sense after going through current pandemic, and will continue prove themselves as genomics and genome based medicine become more mainstream and prevalent.
