Against the backdrop of unprecedented convergence between the digital and the corporeal in the life sciences, this book examines the ‘meta-code of life’: the conditions under which life is not only known or decoded, but also rematerialised through bioinformatics and material biotechnologies. Drawing on STS-style ethnographies and interviews on the development of human biobanks and genomic open data initiatives, it demonstrates how current social theories fail to develop a coherent account of how knowledge or pratices of living is configured today. As such, it will appeal to scholars of science and technology studies and the sociology, philosophy and anthropology of science.
