Cancer - A Very Short...

Nick James

In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a "war" on cancer. More than thirty years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around one in three developing the disease. Curing cancer is not "rocket science," but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? 
 
 
 
Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. 
 
 
 
In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.

Neuralink Decoded - What Happens...

Samantha Blake

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
What if your thoughts could send a text, learn a language, or relive a memory in perfect detail—all without lifting a finger?
Neuralink Decoded is a mind-expanding journey into the next era of human evolution, where science fiction meets real-world innovation. Written in Samantha Blake’s signature style—clear, compelling, and emotionally gripping—this book takes readers beyond the headlines and hype to explore how brain-computer interfaces are reshaping medicine, identity, work, and the future of the human race.
This isn’t just about Elon Musk or a coin-sized chip. It’s about what comes after. What happens when the brain becomes programmable? When your mind can connect directly to the internet—or to another human?
From the early roots of Neuralink’s experimental technology to the awe-inspiring possibilities of enhanced cognition, digital telepathy, and memory backups, this book offers a front-row seat to a revolution that will challenge everything we know about thought, privacy, and being alive.
Through human stories, real science, and bold predictions, Neuralink Decoded explores how this breakthrough could help the paralyzed walk again, treat disorders like Parkinson’s and depression, and eventually allow us to transcend biology altogether. But it also wrestles with the big questions: Who owns your thoughts? Can consciousness be hacked? And what does it mean to stay human in a world where machines may understand your mind better than you do?
Whether you're a curious reader, a tech enthusiast, or someone wondering how to prepare for a future that’s arriving faster than expected, this book is your roadmap.
This is not just the story of a chip. It’s the story of us—and what we’re about to become.
