Cell

AUTHOR’S NOTE

For those readers interested in delving deeper into the changes coming to the profession of medicine due to the convergence of informational technology, nanotechnology, and genomics, I heartily recommend the nonfiction book called: The Creative Destruction of Medicine by Eric Topol, M.D.

I was in the middle of writing Cell when I came across this fascinating work. The introduction alone impressed me with how closely the author’s vision of the future of medicine and my own coincided. Reading the book enabled me to add some richness to Cell that it wouldn’t have had otherwise.
