"Debates over the place of meat in our food system are proliferating. It's rare to find treatments that provide even-handed views of their moral and environmental character, and even harder when you consider the thorny technological dimensions. Galusky's work is that rare book. It's a brute force and mature contribution, asking readers to reconsider our relationships to animals as we confront the futures we want and find ways to sustain the present we inhabit."

-Benjamin R. Cohen, Associate Professor and Chair, Engineering Studies, Lafayette College, USA

"This book is a deep yet accessible analysis of how 'chicken of tomorrow' campaigns of past decades led to the industrial meat production system of today. Chickens and other animals were engineered to serve our meals, but Galusky shows how humans have also been transformed in the process, pointing to our responsibility for developing a more ethical and just relationship. This book provokes essential questions andconversations for our shared interspecies future."
