Quotes

No one explains cutting-edge science and technology more clearly than Lara.

This is the bible for living a HEALTHIER life. Longevity is no fun without health ….

This book is an extraordinarily helpful map to guide you through an uncertain world.

This brilliantly written book steers the reader through a path that separates the nonsense from the evidence, guiding us through the new and emerging science, and empowering each of us to take ownership of our physical and mental health.

Looking to the future but giving us confidence as well - so rare.

As a doctor, I’m fascinated and sometimes cautious about new technology. 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. It’s a book that asks not how long we can live, but how well. Lara Lewington’s Hacking Humanity explores how science and technology might help us care for patients better — not by replacing compassion, but by enhancing it.
