Will Silicon Valley Create a Superhuman?

We often talk about how technology is changing the world at a pace we can't keep up with. How driverless cars could see the end of millions of jobs, and the decline in hundreds of thousands of accidents that occur each year, or how artificial intelligence could help cure cancer, or potentially turn on us, leading to the end of civilization. While these futures are fascinating and scary to think about, one topic that is rarely discussed is how biological technology is going to change the world in even more staggering ways. I'm not talking about the development of new drugs or better EpiPens, but ideas like creating seeds that could one day grow into a fully fledged house, or growing human organs on computer chips to find cures for diseases, or even growing an entire human inside a pig. On this week's episode of Inside the Hive, I talked with D.A. Wallach, a rockstar turned investor, who explains how we are on the cusp of a biological revolution that could make the computing era seem like a tiny blip in history.
