The novel delves into themes of identity, morality, and the commodification of human life, set against a backdrop of a gritty, dystopian future.

In 'Deep Medicine', Eric Topol discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionize healthcare. AI has the potential to transform various aspects of medical practice, from notetaking and medical scans to diagnosis and treatment. By automating routine tasks, AI can free physicians to focus on human connection and empathy, thereby improving patient care and reducing medical errors. The book highlights the use of machine learning, natural-language processing, and deep-learning algorithms in creating personalized treatment plans and enhancing health outcomes.
