520    "Techniques of genetic engineering are changing the role 
       of living things in the production process. From rabbits 
       that produce human pharmaceuticals in their milk to plants
       that produce plastics and other building materials in 
       their leaves, life itself is increasingly harnessed as a 
       force of industry - a living factory. What do these 
       cutting edge developments in biotechnology tell us about 
       our relation to nature? Going beyond the usual focus on 
       the ethics and risks surrounding genetically modified 
       organisms, Kenneth Fish takes the emergence of living 
       factories as an opportunity to revisit fundamental 
       questions concerning the relation between human beings, 
       technology, and the natural world. He examines the 
       coincidence of the living factory metaphor in contemporary
       accounts of biotechnology and in the work of Karl Marx, 
       who described the machine as "a mechanical monster whose 
       body fills whole factories, and whose demonic powers ... 
       burst forth in the fast and feverish whirl of its 
       countless working organs." Weaving together accounts of 
       biotechnology in the molecular- and cyber-sciences, 
       corporate literature, and environmental sociology, Living 
       Factories casts our contemporary relation to nature in a 
       new light. Fish shows that living factories reveal the 
       unique role of capitalism in infusing the forces of nature
       with conscious purpose subordinated to processes of 
       commodification and accumulation, and that they give a new
       meaning, and urgency, to the liberation of the forces of 
       production from the fetters of capital."--Publisher's 
       website.
