Reviews
"""Teens and tweens will appreciate the futuristic ideas in this series on STEM and the body.""--School Library Journal -- (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)"
This series explores the future possibilities of STEM advances. Each title offers an attention-grabbing introduction that reads like the opening scene of a science fiction film. There are high- and low-tech examples of STEM modifications to the body, from wearables that track sleep patterns to designer babies. The historical time lines list advances and discoveries in science and pair well with the spotlighted individuals who are not only scientists, but also cancer survivors and celebrities. Topical breakdowns in highlighted chapter sections clearly indicate how each concept uses science, technology, engineering, and math individually rather than as a general catchall of STEM. Biohackers is the benchmark for the series. It discusses ethics, laws, and personal safety alongside cutting-edge ideas, such as electronic implants. VERDICT Teens and tweens will appreciate the futuristic ideas in this series on STEM and the body. --School Library Journal -- (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)
