[DIYbio] Re: Biohacker Sci Fi Recommendations?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the webcomic Genocide Man, largely because it's not a very positive portrayal.  In the backstory open source biotechnology enabled various ideological groups to create designer plagues and super soldiers, wiping out most of the world's population.  The titular character is a rogue law enforcement agent whose job was to stop carriers of dangerous ideologies from committing genocide again, by killing them all first.  He has a portable lab the size of a large suitcase that can produce viruses tailored to only kill specific people or genelines (which I don't think is possible, though otherwise it's pretty "hard").

Yes, it's pretty hypocritical of them.  Which is why the main character "retired".

Hi All,

Just wondering if there was any hardcore Biohacker sci fi that you've read and would recommend? I love most hard sci fi but I've been looking specifically for hard biohacker sci fi, any suggestions?
