Your genome is already shaping your health, your medication responses, and decisions being made about your biological data — right now, whether you know it or not. Most people have no idea what their genetic test results actually mean. Not because the science is hard, but because no one has explained it plainly — until now.

The Next Decade of Biotech is a sweeping exploration of how biotechnology is transforming health, food, industry, and the environment. It covers breakthroughs like CRISPR, mRNA vaccines, and synthetic biology, and examines the integration of biotech with AI, robotics, and quantum computing. The book highlights how biotech is enabling personalized medicine, sustainable agriculture, regenerative materials, and ecological restoration. It also addresses critical ethical challenges—gene editing, data privacy, access, and environmental risk—and urges inclusive, democratic governance.

"The most important book on AI this year." --The Guardian "Mr. Russell's exciting book goes deep, while sparkling with dry witticisms." --The Wall Street Journal "The most important book I have read in quite some time" (Daniel Kahneman); "A must-read" (Max Tegmark); "The book we've all been...

In every generation, when dangers gather, there is a group of men and women courageous enough to confront evil and inform the populace. Sometimes unpleasant truths need to be presented; most of us would rather stand back and kick a toe in the dirt. You know, let someone else do it.

When molecular biologist Becky McClain raised urgent alarms about biosafety lapses at her biotech lab at Pfizer, she expected concern—not retaliation. Instead, her warnings about dangerous, genetically engineered viruses that were handled without following standard safety protocols were met with hostility, intimidation, and ultimately, devastating illness after a workplace exposure changed her life forever.

Beginning in the 1970s, several scientific breakthroughs promised to transform the creation of new medicines. As investors sought to capitalize on these Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, the biotech industry grew to thousands of small companies around the world. Each sought to emulate what the major pharmaceutical companies had been doing for a century or more, but without the advantages of scale, scope, experience, and massive resources. From Breakthrough to Blockbuster focuses on both the companies themselves and the broader biotech ecosystem that supports them.
