For a time I was embarrassed to even admit that I read it. I still am. The book is full of incredible people and events that don't and should not make any sense to a rational person. So I have written off this book as a third class fantasy

I can't even imagine what combination of misconceptions about net neutrality and personal genomics led you to make such a comparison. Strong words - try just asking and I'll answer :). Here is where the comparison comes from.. The same wa
