"To me this is perhaps the most fascinating and potentially important area of science there is at the moment, and this book is an excellent introduction."

Richard Jones, Professor of Physics at the University of Sheffield, Fellow of the Royal Society, and author of Soft Machines: Nanotechnology and Life.

"Fascinating... Amos describes such experiments beautifully, combining laboratory drama with technical explanations. His lucid and punchy prose conveys a genuine excitement of the frontier."

Steven Poole, The Meccano of life, The Guardian, January 6, 2007.

"Informative and engaging... Genesis Machines is a readable and excellent - though at times challenging - introduction to the swirl of recent activity at the intersection between mathematics and biology."

Andy Clark, Artificial Life 15, Spring 2009.

"What do encryption, the double helix and sudoku have in common? They are all bound together...in rather surprising ways, as Martyn Amos masterfully shows in this compendious volume. Amos is a born communicator, that rare breed among scientists who write fluently in an understandable and approachable way about difficult concepts."

Tony Valsamidis, From sudoku to DNA in six steps, Times Higher Education, February 2, 2007.
