The Godfather, Part Ⅱ

摘要

Craig Venter is a singular individual who aspires to be universal. In Life at the Speed of Light, he fantasizes this: "since my own genome was sequenced, my software has been broadcast in the form of electromagnetic waves, carrying my genetic information far beyond Earth, as they ripple out into space. Borne upon those waves, my life now moves at the speed of light." He wonders whether an alien civilization might understand and act upon his genome's broadcast "instructions."
