Situated at the intersection of natural science and philosophy, Our Genes explores historical practices, investigates current trends, and imagines future work in genetic research to answer persistent, political questions about human diversity. Readers are guided through fascinating thought experiments, complex measures and metrics, fundamental evolutionary patterns, and in-depth treatment of exciting case studies. The work culminates in a philosophical rationale, based on scientific evidence, for a moderate position about the explanatory power of genes that is often left unarticulated. Simply put, human evolutionary genomics - our genes - can tell us much about who we are as individuals and as collectives. However, while they convey scientific certainty in the popular imagination, genes cannot answer some of our most important questions. Alternating between an up-close and a zoomed-out focus on genes and genomes, individuals and collectives, species and populations, Our Genes argues that the answers we seek point to rich, necessary work ahead.

We live in an information economy, a vast archive of data ever at our fingertips. In the pages of science fiction, powerful entities--governments and corporations--attempt to use this archive to control society, enforce conformity or turn citizens into passive consumers. Opposing them are protagonists fighting to liberate the collective mind from those who would enforce top-down control. Archival technology and its depictions in science fiction have developed dramatically since the 1950s. Ray Bradbury discusses archives in terms of books and television media, and Margaret Atwood in terms of magazines and journaling. William Gibson focused on technofuturistic cyberspace and brain-to-computer prosthetics, Bruce Sterling on genetics and society as an archive of social practices. Neal Stephenson has imagined post-cyberpunk matrix space and interactive primers. As the archive is altered, so are the humans that interact with ever-advancing technology.
Has anyone ever asked you to do something, and it felt impossible? For years, my brother urged me, "Naomi, you need to write a book and tell your story!" But facing my past—my shame, my guilt—was something I didn't have the courage to do for a long time. Growing up as a multiracial woman of color, raised by a teenage single White mother who battled mental illness, childhood trauma, abusive relationships, and a life skirting the law, left me questioning my identity, my body, and my worth. This is more than just my story—it's the journey of a heroine finding her way out of darkness, driven by a desperate search for God and answers. It's also a tender exploration of a fractured mother-daughter bond, two broken souls longing for love, healing, and redemption. This book invites you into that journey to witness the struggle, the survival, and the hope of choosing to belong.
