Publisher's summary

Paul Shapiro gives you a front-row seat for the wild story of the race to create and commercialize cleaner, safer, sustainable meat - real meat - without the animals. From the entrepreneurial visionaries to the scientists' workshops to the big business boardrooms - Shapiro details that quest for clean meat and other animal products and examines the debate raging around it.

Since the dawn of Homo sapiens some quarter million years ago, animals have satiated our species' desire for meat. But with a growing global population and demand for meat, eggs, dairy, leather, and more, raising such massive numbers of farm animals is woefully inefficient and takes an enormous toll on the planet, public health and certainly the animals themselves.

But what if we could have our meat and eat it, too? The next great scientific revolution is underway - discovering new ways to create enough food for the world's ever-growing, ever-hungry population.

Ingenious, terrific and prophetic book

Truly loved this book! It's so hart-warming to hear that there already are many start-up's distrupting agricultural business. As a devoted vegeterian and animal lover I simply cannot wait to see all these products hiting the market soon. Animal-free meat, dairy and leather is the only future for human kind and our planet!! The quicker people understand it the better off they'll be along with all the animals that suffer in the proccess.

Excellent Narrator, Excellent Content

An awesome look into the future of food and what clean meat can do for everyone on the planet. The author does a great job taking a neutral look at the industry even though he has a background in animal advocacy. Highly recommend this read, works great on 1.5x!

Leave real meat 🥩 for the elite few

Lots of fillers and dancing around the bush. Waist of time. Do not read and raise your own food.

Super interesting and informative book

The Cell-ag industry is just heating up. If you’re curious about the space Paul’s book is a great place to start. Informative, educational, entertaining. A must read.

A Sneak Peak into the Future

It's amazing to get such an insider view of an industry that is rapidly emerging and not into the mainstream yet. It really inspired me to dig deeper and learn more about the advances of cellular-based agriculture. Definitely worth the read!

The Future of Food is Bright!

This is an incredible book for all vegans, effective altruists, and non-vegans interested in the future of food. Shapiro analyzes the leading companies in the industry & provides personal anecdotes that help readers better understand the mission & culture of each company.

Additionally, the audiobook reader does a fantastic job.

Returned

I was really interested in reading this book but returned it once I realized the author was accused of sexual misconduct. Sorry, not supporting that in any way with my money. Hope to find a different book on the topic.
