Biology's brave new world
Abstract
The first season of the Netflix series Biohackers, consisting of six episodes released on the streaming platform on 20 August, tells a fictional tale centered around the sociotechnological movement known as do-it-yourself (DIY) biology, in which amateurs, professionals, anarchists, and civic-minded citizens push the boundaries of mainstream biology. The show serves as a pedagogical vehicle to raise many timely and interesting ethical, legal, and social concerns.
