After Lachlan McIver's father suffers a sudden, fatal heart attack it sends him into a spiral of grief and outrage. This tragedy inspires him to become a doctor and he eventually finds his calling - providing care for communities in some of the most remote and neglected parts of the world. In this no-holds-barred memoir, Lachlan recounts his experiences treating patients and tackling health problems across dozens of countries, from rural communities around Australia and the islands of the South Pacific, through natural disasters and civil war zones, to the headquarters of the World Health Organization and Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) in Switzerland. Lachlan is forced to confront not only the frustrations of trying to provide medical care in extremely under-resourced environments, but broader crises such as health inequities, climate change and drug-resistant infections. He also faces his own personal battles, including with depression, alcohol abuse and bankruptcy. This is a deeply human look at the personal cost of our broken global health system, and how we must work together to change it for the better. It's what we need right now.

What is the shape of the world to come? CNN host Fareed Zakaria, foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten 'lessons', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of 'digital life', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands.
