The number of people dying due to drug-resistant diseases is rising
every year. What medical weapons and technologies are being
developed to stop this existential threat to all of us? In this
brilliantly wide-ranging, one-stop guide WIRED journalist Victoria
Turk outlines the reasons for this major crisis in medicine and the
steps being taken to control it. She explains the reasons why
antibiotics no longer have the miraculous force they once did, and
why so many drugs that were once so effective are now falling
short. She considers the implications for the future, not just in
terms of individual health but humankind's ability to counter
pandemics. She looks at the latest research into new antibiotics,
preventative medicine, diagnostic techniques and
resistance-resistant treatments. And she addresses the fundamental
question: are new medical breakthroughs sufficient to safeguard our
health in the future?
