Tyranny of the Gene

Tyranny of the Gene by James Tabery explores the origins and development of personalized medicine in the United States, revealing how political, corporate, and scientific interests have shaped its trajectory. The book critically examines how commercialization and hype have prioritized the few over equitable, holistic health care, shifting focus away from social and environmental factors that influence health. It offers a thoughtful critique of the current biomedical landscape and suggests a more just and inclusive path forward.
