Greg Bear is one of very few biopunk writers out there. The guy knows his biology.
His book 'Darwins Radio' is fantastic, the sequel 'Darwins Children' gets bogged down in religious mysticism at times which is a pity. This is him interviewed on The Daily Show.

Greg Bear - 4.25 into the clip
This is the essence of biopunk.
