"""A Financial Times Best Summer Book"" ""Wide-ranging investigation into efforts by scientists to create digitised “twins” of human beings that promise a future of predictive medicine, but also ethical challenges."" * Financial Times * ""Virtual You is the most comprehensive and comprehensible account so far of the way in which the revolution in computing and data is starting to transform human biology and medicine.""---Clive Cookson, Financial Times ""[An] immensely thought-provoking book.""---Nick Smith, Engineering and Technology ""Virtual You‘s scope is as epic as its vision, taking us through medical history from Vesalius to Venter, and from the Antikythera mechanism to supercomputers and beyond.
