Issue 02: Technology

Asimov Press’ latest anthology features nine essays and three works of science fiction. Embracing the book’s technology theme, we did something very special: With the help of three companies — CATALOG, Imagene, and Plasmidsaurus — we’ve encoded a complete copy of the book into DNA, thus merging bits with atoms.

This is the first commercially-available book to be written in DNA and sold in both mediums; as physical books and nucleic acids.

DNA capsule

Grab a DNA capsule while they last. Each capsule contains 500,000 strands of DNA that, together, encode the entirety of text within the book.
