Technology can feel overwhelming. Robots stealing our jobs, big Tech taking over the world, endless social media doomscrolling…

But behind the scaremongering there are fascinating innovations developing for how technology can make our lives better and longer-lasting. There are tremendously exciting developments in preventing disease, health monitoring, slowing our ageing and improving our well-being.

This book will be an antidote to all the negativity about where tech is taking us. It will instead tell a positive story from the front-line of health to show the exciting ways we are learning to improve ourselves and work WITH, rather than AGAINST technology to make our lives better.
