Bill McKibben talk

April 29, 2003 by Scott Rosenberg

Tomorrow night (April 30) I’ll be attending a talk here in San Francisco, sponsored by a group called the Center for Genetics and Society, by my old friend Bill McKibben, who has a new book out titled “Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age.” (We reviewed the book in Salon here, and interviewed the author here.)

Bill is a great writer and speaker — if anything, his droll sense of humor comes through in a more full-spectrum way in person. Whether you find yourself sharing or questioning his critique of a future in which genetic engineering transforms our species, I think it should be a fascinating evening.
