About the book
'This is the bible to living a healthier life' DAVINA MCCALL | 'No-one explains cutting edge technology more clearly than Lara' LORRAINE KELLY | 'Absolutely brilliant' JEREMY VINE | 'Extraordinarily helpful' DAMIAN HUGHES | 'Brilliantly written ... separates the nonsense from the evidence' RUSSELL FOSTER
What if we could stop cancer in its tracks, prevent cardiovascular disease, lose weight at will and reverse the effects of ageing? With new developments in artificial intelligence, gene editing and robotics, it might all be possible sooner than you think.
In Hacking Humanity, technology journalist Lara Lewington takes us to the cutting edge of scientific research to demystify how new innovations are transforming medicine for the better. Drawing us into the science behind the world’s healthiest people from Silicon Valley to the Blue Zones while experimenting with the new technology already available, she examines the real challenges ahead and how we can overcome them. From new miracle drugs to life-saving robotic assistants and diagnostic tools that help us avoid disease altogether, today’s most exciting innovations are paving the way for tomorrow’s healthcare revolution, extending not only our lifespans but also our healthspans – the amount of time we spend living in good health.
With expert insights and clear explanations, Hacking Humanity reveals how we can harness the power of technology to improve our lives now and transform our healthcare system for a better future, unlocking the power to reshape our genetic destinies and live longer and healthier lives.
'What Lara does so beautifully in Hacking Humanity is cut through the hype and show how innovation can be human, hopeful and practical, helping us prevent illness, not just treat it' DR AMIR KHAN
