We have lost the war on cancer. We spend $150 billion each year treating it, yet - a few innovations notwithstanding - a patient with cancer is as likely to die of it as one was 50 years ago. Most new drugs add mere months to one's life at agonizing physical and financial cost. In The First Cell, Azra Raza offers a searing account of how both medicine and our society (mis)treats cancer, how we can do better, and why we must.

Book great, narration terrible
Revisado: 01-22-20
Whoever the narrator is has a high pitched nasal voice that makes this recorded book as unpleasant to listen to as nails on a chalkboard

Dear Neil...
- De Tina G. en 10-14-19
It’s cute.
Revisado: 10-15-19
Fun book. Not as technical as NdGT’s other books but a reminder how inspiring some people’s stories are and how block headed some people can be. Neil is a gentleman, a scholar and a mensch keeping his cool with gracious responses.

Earth, 2144. Jack is an anti-patent scientist turned drug pirate, traversing the world in a submarine as a pharmaceutical Robin Hood, fabricating cheap scrips for poor people who can't otherwise afford them. But her latest drug hack has left a trail of lethal overdoses as people become addicted to their work, doing repetitive tasks until they become unsafe or insane.

Leftist Politics packaged into a sci fi novel
Revisado: 11-11-18
Cute story. Interesting counter culture protagonists. Everyone loves the pirate and the rebel regardless of how they are presented. However, this homage to the cyberpunk genre is shrouded in bullshit leftist rhetoric and ideologies that are divorced from reality. I’ve been a patent attorney in the biotech sector for the last 25 years (🤦🏻♂️ I’m old), and will say that readers beware. Enjoy the cyber Robin Hood story but take the political commentary with a grain of salt. Drug development is a very expensive, complicate and failure prone endeavor and the patent and regulatory systems are the only thing keeping snake oil salesmen from selling you poison.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Chasing the Scream, a radically new way of thinking about depression and anxiety. What really causes depression and anxiety - and how can we really solve them?

Modern problems ancient solutions
Revisado: 02-26-18
Johann Hari expounds on the causes of depression and anxiety that not only have gone overlooked but repressed. We live in denial of the causes of our suffering and it’s time we address them without masking them or covering them up with anti depressant medication.
