4.0
A great background on CRISPR technology including a decent amount of info on the biochemistry behind it, with the understanding that this is definitely not a textbook. The controversy surrounding the dubious use of the technology by He Jiankui takes center stage, hence the title, but would have preferred if this was one aspect of this remarkable new field of science as the book feels a bit uneven in its treatment of the science and the controversy. A cursory look at the other reviewers seems to discount the decent coverage of the science itself here which is unfortunate because this had potential to be a great book at times.
