Replaceable You by Mary Roach

One of Literary Hub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2025
A Goodreads Readers’ Most Anticipated Fall Book
From the New York Times bestselling author of Stiff and Fuzz, a rollicking exploration of the quest to recreate the impossible complexities of human anatomy.

Roach dives in with her characteristic verve and infectious wit. Her travels take her to the OR at a legendary burn unit in Boston, a “superclean” xeno-pigsty in China, and a stem cell “hair nursery” in the San Diego tech hub. She talks with researchers and surgeons, amputees and ostomates, printers of kidneys and designers of wearable organs. She spends time in a working iron lung from the 1950s, stays up all night with recovery techs as they disassemble and reassemble a tissue donor, and travels across Mongolia with the cataract surgeons of Orbis International.
Irrepressible and accessible, Replaceable You immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable, and surreal quest to build a new you.
