description: In his book, On the "Barcode" Functionality of DNA, or the Phenonmenon of Life in the Physical Universe, Simon Y. Berkovich presents what he envisages to be a groundbreaking theory in the scientific community. With the "barcode" interpretation of DNA, zillions of biological objects can be seen as a population of users on the "Internet of the physical Universe." The author responds to two perplexing "How can an organism be built from an information-deficient genome?" and "Why do more complex organisms have less complex genomes?" The striking difference between dead and living matter lies in the intensity of the involvement of the informational infrastructure of the physical world. The problem of the organization of Life is treated with the methodology of computer engineering design.
