Zákon genu - Antologie české fantastiky – Neff Ondřej (2022)

Published on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Johann Gregor Mendel (July 20, 1822 – January 6, 1884) and released under the patronage of Nobel Prize laureate Sir Paul Nurse, with forewords by biochemist Jan Konvalinka and astrophysicist Jiří Grygar. I think Mendel would be amused that two centuries after his birth, this book of sci-fi stories celebrates him, says Sir Paul Nurse. Two hundred years have passed since the birth of the father of genetics, Gregor Mendel, but genetics remains a huge challenge for science and a field for new fascinating discoveries. And just as much for science fiction writers. On the occasion of the birthday of this great figure of Czech science, outstanding authors of fantasy have embarked on their own adventurous journeys related to genetics. You will travel to space, meet aliens, time travel, laugh, be afraid, and ponder what might still await us in the field of genetics, because science and fantasy are inextricably linked. Just like the discovery of new stories and mysteries. Media partners: UNESCO, Mendel Festival, Pevnost, FantasyPlanet, Scifi.sk.
