Cyborgs, Genes and Tiny Machines by Paul Ian Cross

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. He is the author of How To Vanquish a Virus and Bodies, Brains and Bogies for Welbeck. Steve Brown is an accomplished illustrator who has worked with many publishers in the UK and the US, including Welbeck, Scholastic, Hachette Children's, Harper Collins, Maverick, Oxford University Press and many more.
