The Internet and smartphone are just the latest in a 250-year-long cycle of disruption that has continuously changed the way we live, the way we work, and the way we interact. The coming Augmented Age, however, promises a level of disruption, behavioral shifts, and changes that are unparalleled. While consumers today are camping outside of an Apple store waiting to be one of the first to score a new Apple Watch or iPhone, the next generation of wearables will be able to predict if we're likely to have a heart attack and recommend a course of action.

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. 

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.

You have lost a fight to a housefly. Everyone has. It was not close. Measured in its own body lengths, a fly moves faster than any aircraft humanity has ever built, rolls faster than a fighter jet, and reacts ten times more quickly than the hand coming toward it. None of this is because the fly is clever. It has a brain smaller than a grain of rice and no plans for the weekend. It wins because it is small, and small is not a scaled-down copy of our world. It is a different world, with a different set of forces in charge. This is a tour of that discovery and of everything it quietly demolishes.
