Get ready for the genetically modified hounds of hell
From our UK edition
The future was once reassuringly remote. Back in the last century we’d speculate about it idly with no sense of urgency: would there be flying cars? Jet-packs? Frankly, after Soda Streams, anything and everything seemed possible, but the future stayed in its proper place, ahead of us, and we approached it at a nice, manageable pace. Sometime around 2020 that changed. The future did a volte-face and began to accelerate towards us, and now it’s everywhere, suffocatingly close. Superintelligent robots, missions to Mars, babies grown in bags… it’s all too much to take in. And as of last week, genetically modified, cloned and armour-clad hell hounds of war.
