As a physician, Dr. Haider Warraich has found himself eyewitness to some of the greatest matters affecting modern society, the most cutting edge technological advances that have transformed our lived experience, and some of the most gut wrenching stories that people find themselves a part of. Combining research, history and powerful anecdotes, he has used his non-fiction books to better understand and shed light on the past, present and future of our greatest modern nemeses. In Modern Death (St Martin’s Press/Macmillan, 2017) he explores how technology has fundamentally altered how we die. In State of the Heart (St Martin’s Press/Macmillan, 2019), he traced how heart disease became the leading killer of humans around the world and how its treatment represent our first step towards transhumanism. And in his newest book, The Song of Our Scars (Basic Books, Hachette, 2022), he dove deep into the nature of chronic pain, and outlined a new path to live in spite of suffering.
