"Think of her as the female equivalent of Brian Cox making science accessible for the masses... Entertaining and provocative, this promises to change the way you think about sex."

– Stylist

"A fascinating examination of a future that may not be too distant, as well as an account of historical misconceptions about conception."

– Kirkus Reviews

"[Prasad's] elegantly written romp through the science and history of conception is conceivably as much fun as you’ll ever have thinking about sex without working up a sweat."

– Publishers Weekly

"Aarathi Prasad has travelled far into the mysterious land of human and animal conception and come back with extraordinary stories of chimaeras and Parthenogens, of cannibal sharks in the womb, of pseudosperm and the prospect of birth without pregnancy. A fascinating book."

– Matt Ridley - author of The Rational Optimist and The Red Queen

"It’s game over for the testicle; the reign of bollocks is at an end. Prasad charts the high road to total male redundancy. In the future, girls will do it for themselves, boys – those who are left – will just be toys. Cheer or weep, but read this book."

– Armand Leroi - author of Mutants and Professor of Evolutionary Developmental Biology at Imperial Col
