this is the first book by isaacson that i read and i doubt i'd like to read any other. the bias in the narration, while duly acknowledged, forces him to paint other people (aka other side) so monstrously—at times—that it's impossible to take his criticisms seriously. that said i liked quite a few people aside from doudna (for example i think emmanuelle charpentier is badass and quite rightly the sort of hero we need—working with elegance and loads of fun).

It’s very unfortunate to read such a statement - Isaacson’s “The Innovators” is an amazing book that never lost its objectivity throughout my readings.
