When we think about revolutions, we think of systemic changes in politics, economics, and lifestyles. Revolutions transform how we live, work, interact, and communicate. In the past, political uprisings and new technologies, from the steam engine to the smartphone, have led to such transformative changes.

Now, a revolution driven by novel biotechnologies (gene editing, neuroprosthetics, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence in biotech) has the potential to not only change the way we live but the very foundations of our lives – our biology.

But is the so-called biorevolution a real "scientific revolution"?

In the new episode of "We're Doomed, We're Saved," Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow look at the biorevolution from different angles, examining its transformative potential and comparing it to revolutions that came before.
