Reviews

Tutton's book is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand and critically engage with twenty-first century medicine. The books defining feature is not only its important subject matter, but the scholarly way in which the author has approached, critiqued and presented a complex and meaningful biomedical imaginary of an emerging treatment market. - Dr Casimir MacGregor School of Social Science, Monash University, Victoria

'The idea that we are moving into an era of personalized medicine is increasingly influential in biomedical research, health policy and the biotechnology industry. This excellent and carefully researched book provides a much needed critical analysis of the key role of expectations and future imaginaries in the making of this new field.' Paul Martin, University of Sheffield, UK
