Medicine is advancing at a breakneck pace. Genome editing, lab-grown organs and advanced bionics are all on the horizon – our lives are going to change dramatically. We’ll live longer, be healthier, and become godlike. Or some of us will, anyway.
Through a series of short stories, this anthology looks at the medical frontier and our future. What happens to society when the dead can be brought back to life? When big pharmacutical companies create illnesses as well as cures? When a chip in your brain can take away depression for good? Will it make us better?
