LeGuin’s son, Theo Downes-Le Guin, is also participating in the development process. Anonymous Content’s chief creative officer, David Levine, will oversee the project for AC Studios along with Long and Grande for 1212. No writer is currently attached to the project. “There are few works of science fiction that have had a greater impact on the genre and we’re proud the estate has trusted us with the task of adapting this masterpiece into a new medium.” Le Guin’s ‘The Dispossessed’ has a visceral connection to the present and so accurately matches the world we’re living in right now,” said 1212’s Joshua Long and Roberto Grande. ![]() ![]() Descriptions of the protagonists’ idiosyncrasies are well defined, while the remaining characters in the story are fully fleshed out, the products of late 19 th-century life in London.

Yet even the tiniest changes to DNA could have myriad, unforeseeable consequences, to say nothing of the ethical and societal repercussions of intentionally mutating embryos to create “better” humans. The cheapest, simplest, most effective way of manipulating DNA ever known, CRISPR may well give us the cure to HIV, genetic diseases, and some cancers. That is, until 2015, when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the gene-editing tool CRISPR-a revolutionary new technology that she helped create-to make heritable changes in human embryos. Not since the atomic bomb has a technology so alarmed its inventors that they warned the world about its use.
