In the future, you could run on robot legs, your doctor could be a computer, you mght have tiny machines inside your body to keep you healthy… and you could even live forever! Take a trip into the future of medicine with this fact-packed, funny and fascinating new book. Paul Ian Cross, author of How to Vanquish a Virus and Bodies, Brains and Bogies, explains everything from genetic modification, eco-health and virtual reality medicine, to remote surgery by robot and personalised medicine. These hyper-exciting advances might sound like science fiction – but they’re all being developed by scientists, and some are even being used right now! This brilliantly informative book, with hilarious, detailed illustrations from Steve Brown, de-mystifies a whole host of upcoming technology and shows how the future of medicine could make the world a brighter place.

Dr. Paul Ian Cross lives in London and holds a degree in Microbiology, a Master’s in Clinical Research and a PhD in science communication: presenting to non-scientists. He enjoys introducing children to the wonders of science. As a previous reluctant reader, he also aims to help them gain confidence with reading.
