About this listen

"An essential read for anyone committed to understanding the technologies that will define our future." CHRISTIAN ANGERMAYER, BIOTECH ENTREPRENEUR AND FOUNDER OF APEIRON INVESTMENT GROUP

Welcome to the biotech revolution

In the last century, technology has transformed the human experience across the world. This has been super-charged by the arrival of the internet, smart phones, AI and machine learning, and created trillion-plus dollar companies and household names like Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

Our Future is Biotech explains why biotech is next: because our biggest remaining challenges as a species concern biological systems.

Biotech companies will solve our most intractable problems, from cancer, dementia, obesity and diabetes to elderly care, mental health conditions, and even clean power generation, agricultural production and environmental degradation.

Biotech means that we can all live better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives.

The industry has already delivered "miracle cures" for several diseases, and there is more to come. But despite this, few people are aware of the phenomenal progress being made. Our Future is Biotech addresses this, explaining what biotech is, what is coming next, and how you might profit from it too.

Tech has been the most important theme for human progress for the last century. Biotech is next.

Critic reviews

"A tour-de-force and a book that I found unputdownable. Andrew has seen the way for biotech and brings a unique, insightful and typically plain-English perspective to us all. This is a must read and highly recommended." (Barry Smith, Founder of Sunday Times’ Fast Track 100 probiotics company, Symprove)
"An excellent analysis of the life-changing scientific developments occurring in the world right now and a good prod in the ribs to Governments and Regulators to improve the funding environment to ensure we all benefit!" (Jim Wilkinson, CFO, Oxford Science Enterprises)
"This is an important and extremely timely book which covers many key aspects of the biotech industry. Andrew provides excellent context for all readers no matter what level of knowledge and dives with appropriate depth into so many important areas of dramatic innovation. I thoroughly recommend this book as a clear guide for anyone interested in the sector and its impact on all of us, now and in the future." (David Browning, biotech industry veteran and former Chairman of Oxford Bioscience Network (OBN))
"In a world of ever-greater complexity, biotechnology is at the forefront of the complex. From the medicines we take, to the medical devices that are implanted, to the myriad of apps directing our diet and exercise regimes. Every day we are impacted by the products of this 'biotech revolution'. Even those who specialise in biotechnology can struggle to keep up! Our Future is Biotech is an outstanding, easy to read, anatomy of the impacts that biotechnology will have on all of us, what we need to understand and what we might need to do about it. I urge anyone with an interest in the future to read it!" (Dr Eliot Forster, Professor of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine at the University of Liverpool, CEO of Levicept and Chairman of Avacta plc)

Positive outlook

I’ve recently read many books about health, lifespan and investing and this one contains all three. But from the author’s previous books and from the introduction I thought it was going to include more about investing. I read the introduction before the book was released and I think it was changed. The investment information was only in the introduction. I would have also like more information about what the reader can do today to help themselves, which was mainly only included in the conclusion. I really like the positive outlook for the future it gives. My last book called the material world was also mainly positive about the future. I feel happier after reading these two book. This book contains many interesting points and I learned a lot. I had read almost all the recommended books from the author. But he also recommends the book breathe twice which I’ve not read yet. That’s going to be my next book.

Bio-Heck, I hope he is right! 😁

Compelling ideas, rational optimism & and refreshing balanced style that is a refreshing change to the hyperbolic norm.

Not what I expected but a good read in any case

Given the authors previous books are on investing, I had hoped there would be more about it in this book specifically on Biotech. Sadly this only came in the form of about 1 minute at the very end.

However that said there are lots of things I’ve learnt in this book about what the Biotech industry really is and challenging what I now know are false beliefs which are common in society today.

Towards the end it made me think ahead 150 years about the people who will read this book. Things that are totally normal to them being spoken about as futuristic concepts then.

enjoyable but not what I thought

Having read How to own the world and knowing Andrew invests in Biotech I thought this was going to be more personal and a bit more directional in what to look for and how to value it.

Whilst Andrew does touch on this he spends much more of the book going over what is possible now, how to look at the situation with optimism and what the future looks like with exponential thinking.

All in all whilst the book wasnt what I expected going in I was entertained and have taken away several ideas for the future and will begin researching some companies for investment opportunities.

I would reccomend this book to anyone wanting to know more about biotech as a broader industry. The information touches on a lot of things briefly so there isnt much depth however like me you might come away with ideas you want to deep dive.
