The book is broadly positive, and I was surprised at just how long the list of potential benefits runs. There are also negatives. No technology is neutral. Obstacles remain, and the vested interests of industrial farming are moving against the idea. The book is honest about that, and I didn’t come away from it with a confident answer about how far we are away from affordable cultivated meat.
