You may be familiar with the idea of our body’s biome – the bacterial fauna that populates our gut and can so profoundly affect our health. In We Are Electric we cross the next frontier of scientific understanding: discover your body’s electrome.

Every cell in our bodies – bones, skin, nerves, muscle – has a voltage, like a tiny battery. This bioelectricity is why our brains can send signals to our bodies, why we develop the way we do in the womb and how our bodies know to heal themselves from injury. When bioelectricity goes awry, illness, deformity and cancer can result. But if we can control or correct this bioelectricity, the implications for our health are remarkable: an undo switch for cancer that could flip malignant cells back into healthy ones; the ability to regenerate cells, organs, even limbs; to slow ageing and so much more.

In We Are Electric, award-winning science writer Sally Adee explores the history of bioelectricity: from Galvani’s epic eighteenth-century battle with the inventor of the battery, Alessandro Volta, to the medical charlatans claiming to use electricity to cure pretty much anything, to advances in the field helped along by the unusually massive axons of squid. And finally, she journeys into the future of the discipline, through today’s laboratories where we are starting to see real-world medical applications being developed.

The bioelectric revolution starts here.

批評家のレビュー

"An entertaining account . . . Adee’s enthusiasm is infectious and she conveys well the jaw-dropping scale and complexity of the “electrome”"
"We Are Electric is Adee's thrilling scientific detective story, a rich history that brings us up to date with the latest research"
"Excellent . . . Sally Adee has written an absorbing and fast-paced account of a field of research that could thus herald a whole new era of paradigm-shifting medicine"
"This year's lightbulb moment"
"Adee explores the chemical and electrical ferment underpinning all growth and life, highlighting the pioneers and charlatans who discovered and exploited "bioelectricity", [she] also conjures electric medicine: a future of good health, regenerated tissue and (perhaps) extended life"
"A revelation . . . Has rich implications for how we heal and grow"
"Scintillating . . . Adee is both a true believer in electromedicine and a lover of a good anecdote. She is also an eminent science and technology writer with extensive access to academics, and this combination makes We Are Electric a great read"
"Adee writes as a reporter but also as an enthusiast . . . . A lively read"
"Sally Adee’s We Are Electric has been a stand-out. If Adee is right, we’ll soon be treating everything from infertility to cancer by manipulating the electricity our body generates" (TIM FLANNERY)
"This book blew my mind. We Are Electric is a thrilling read, and Sally Adee explains everything from the intricacies of our electric cells to the potential for new medical treatments — and brain-hacking — with a sparkling clarity" (MICHAEL BROOKS, author of 13 THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE)
