First /lit/ post but does anyone else feel unnerved when they read books such as, "Brave New World," and "Jurassic Park." There is something that makes me sick about humans manipulating nature to such degrees. Post your favorite books that fit into this genre and let me know your opinions. Pic unrelated.

I suppose the ultimate book for you would be Frankenstein, especially as Victor shares your feelings on meddling with God's domain after the fact. Other suggestions would be Herbert West: Reanimator by Lovecraft (doctor brings the dead back to life), or Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut which is (at least in part) about the terrible things that can happen when scientists create bigger and better weapons without considering the permanent effect they can have on the world.
The whole cyberpunk genre might also fit into your specification (start with Neuromancer), as there's usually elements of surpassing the natural there via augmentation (as well as creating life in the form of artificial intelligence).
Afraid I can't be more specific than those. Perhaps some of the fine folks in the SFFG can help?
