My essay revisits the issues raised by this book from the modern perspective of epigenetics and systems biology. I contrast two classes of potential mechanisms of epigenetic stability: 'epigenetic templating' and 'systems biology' approaches, and consider them from the point of view expressed by Schroedinger. I also discuss how quantum entanglement, a nonclassical feature of quantum mechanics, can help to address the 'problem of small numbers' that lead Schroedinger to promote the idea of molecular code-script for explanation of stability of biological order.New and improved version of the essay, now published in the online journal 'Biology Direct'. Contains more expanded discussion on entanglement. 18 pages, 2 figures. The file includes open reviews by E.Koonin, V.Vedral and E.KarsentiGeneral PhysicsMolecular Networkstext
