"A touching, detailed portrait of a life in science. This book is a wonderful exposition of that amazingly complicated process and combines Zernicka-Goetz's research and expert perspective with the clear and engaging narrative that is a hallmark of Highfield's science writing." Venki Ramakrishnan, president of the Royal Society and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "How an entire human can emerge from a single cell is one of life's great mysteries. In regard to human beings, will permit us to explore and better understand humanity, in its entirety as well as individually, in all its uniqueness." L'Express "What appears to be science fiction is, step by step, becoming reality. One of the best things about 'Virtual You' is that if you ever doubted on what scale of complexity the digitally twinning of humans operates, you'll doubt no more." E&T This means the concepts come at you thick and fast, although as a non-mathematician, I found the explanations refreshingly clear." New Scientist "Virtual You's scope is as epic as its vision, taking us through medical history from Vesalius to Venter, and from the Antikythera mechanism to supercomputers and beyond. "Virtual You is the most comprehensive and comprehensible account so far of the way in which the revolution in computing and data is starting to transform human biology and medicine." Financial Times
