I’ve just finished One Renegade Cell. It is probably the best pop-sci book I have read. The book provides an overview of how our understanding of cancer has developed over the last few decades. It reminded me of the “Double Helix” book by Crick and Watson, in that “science” is portrayed in a very honest manner – filled with dead-ends, misunderstandings, chance discoveries, persistence, hard work and dumb luck. I found it quite easy to read, since each new concept is introduced only when needed, and explained in context.
