For a book written in 2012, this is an insightful look at how medicine is currently being practiced in 2020. Specifically, the sections about genome sequencing and other genetic testing (pharmacogenetics, etc.) that must have seemed fantastical and way out-of-reach to the average consumer in 2012 are now becoming increasingly ubiquitous and affordable in 2020. Telemedicine is picking up more and more marketshare, though a global pandemic that Dr. Topol couldn't have foreseen has been a huge driver of that. However, this book shows many signs of being dated -- many companies mentioned are now bankrupt, and the discussion of privacy seems a bit naive as well, especially in this maturing age of the Internet of Things and machine learning (which Dr. Topol would delve more fully into in his 2015 book The Patient Will See You Now, and even more so in his 2019 book Deep Medicine, both of which I'd recommend over this one for a for someone who wants to read one of Dr. Topol's books).
