Synopsis

"An essential read for anyone committed to understanding the technologies that will define our future." CHRISTIAN ANGERMAYER, BIOTECH ENTREPRENEUR AND FOUNDER OF APEIRON INVESTMENT GROUP

Welcome to the biotech revolution
In the last century, technology has transformed the human experience across the world. This has been super-charged by the arrival of the internet, smart phones, AI and machine learning, and created trillion-plus dollar companies and household names like Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

Our Future is Biotech explains why biotech is next: because our biggest remaining challenges as a species concern biological systems.

Biotech companies will solve our most intractable problems, from cancer, dementia, obesity and diabetes to elderly care, mental health conditions, and even clean power generation, agricultural production and environmental degradation.

Biotech means that we can all live better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives.
The industry has already delivered "miracle cures" for several diseases, and there is more to come. But despite this, few people are aware of the phenomenal progress being made. Our Future is Biotech addresses this, explaining what biotech is, what is coming next, and how you might profit from it too.

Tech has been the most important theme for human progress for the last century. Biotech is next.

I am a scientist working in cancer. I must say, I am very pleasantly surprised by the overall grasp and up-to-date information Andrew Craig has compiled and managed to deliver in a very lay-friendly way. Respect for all the sources he has read and understood! I myself didn’t know about some of the m......more

Goodreads review by Francis on January 05, 2025

A "meh" book. It's a superficial overview of biotech, which might be perfect for someone who knows little about the field. If you know the basics, you'll be disappointed. Twice he quotes Thomas Babbington Macaulay saying the same wise thing: "On what principle is it that with nothing but improvement be......more

Goodreads review by Rohan on November 05, 2024

I have been following Andrew for a while and quickly became a fan of his work and endeavors in teaching personal finance. This, in my opinion, is something that our (global) educational system lacks the most (and I believe Andrew agrees with me on this regard). For the past year, his previous books a......more

Goodreads review by Sambasivan on January 12, 2025

This is one of the most comprehensive books I have read on the past, present and future of bio technology. The author has taken a much broader definition of the term. The canvas covered includes medicine, health, lifespan, agriculture and power sectors. He spends a lot of time on how biotech can imp......more
