   If you're intrigued by the possibilities they're explored in Harvard professor George M Church's wonderful book Regenesis

   technically it's not spontaneous. There are some thoughts out there that organic compounds can emerge from non-organic ones and, given enough time, "life" will emerge.

   One of my favorite books on this is "Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves" by George Church. I have also seen arguments for this in "The Blind Watchmaker" by Dawkins that was published in 1986.

   64-x jumped out at me as having George Church as one of the co-founders; I've read his 'Regenesis' book and it's a good detailed read.

   Synthetic biology seems like a pretty exciting area of study to me. Maybe get a copy of "The Machinery of Life", or "Regenesis".

   Regenesis by George Church

   It's an interesting primer on the potential benefits of synthetic biology to society at large from one of the field's luminaries.

   He covers everything from engineering "mirror humans" (with inverted biochemical chirality) to reviving extinct species.

   Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves by George M. Church, Ed Regis. Mind blowing to say the least.
