Extrait du prologue :
Vasco Borden tira sur les revers de son veston et arrangea sa cravate en suivant le couloir recouvert d'une épaisse moquette. Il n'avait pas l'habitude de porter un complet, même celui-ci, marine, qu'il avait fait exécuter sur mesure pour masquer sa puissante musculature. Vasco était costaud, un mètre quatre-vingt-douze pour cent huit kilos, un gabarit de footballeur. Âgé de quarante-neuf ans, détective privé de son état, il était spécialisé dans la recherche de fugitifs. L'homme qu'il filait, trente ans, le crâne dégarni, chercheur à MicroProteonomics, à Cambridge, Massachusetts, se dirigeait vers la grande salle de conférences.
Le congrès Bio Change 2006, dont le slogan optimiste était «C'est pour aujourd'hui !», se tenait à l'hôtel Venetian, à Las Vegas. Les deux mille participants représentaient tous ceux qui travaillaient dans le secteur de la biotechnologie, y compris les investisseurs, les directeurs des ressources humaines qui engageaient les scientifiques, les responsables de transfert de technologie, les P-DG, les avocats spécialistes de la propriété intellectuelle. D'une manière ou d'une autre, la quasi-totalité des entreprises de biotechnologie américaines était représentée.
Pour le fugitif, c'était l'endroit idéal pour retrouver son contact. Il avait un visage innocent et une petite tache de vin sur le menton, marchait en traînant les pieds et donnait l'impression d'être inepte et timoré. Malgré son air de tocard, cet homme avait réussi à embarquer douze embryons transgéniques dans un vase cryogénique et à les transporter à l'autre bout du pays pour les remettre à celui qui le payait pour cela.

Michael Crichton, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Jurassic Park, comes an astounding, eye-opening look at the world of genetics as it’s happening now, told as only Michael Crichton can tell it, with lightening fast pacing and thrilling chases.
Welcome to our genetic world. Fast, furious, and out of control. This is not the world of the future—it’s the world right now. Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why an adult human being resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There’s a new genetic cure for drug addiction—is it worse than the disease?
We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps; a time when it’s possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars; test our spouses for genetic maladies and even frame someone for a genetic crime. We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes...
Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn.
