REPLACEABLE YOU Adventures in Human Anatomy

Narrated by Mary Roach, this audiobook explores the human body and the challenges that arise when organs, tissues, and limbs fail. Roach is curious and enthusiastic as she meets with physicians, researchers, and people in need of replacement or repair of crucial body parts. Her narration is funny and captivating, reminiscent of a great conversation at a dinner party. Roach travels to the Mongolian countryside, where cataract surgeries are performed in yurts; attends a prosthesis convention; and observes skin-grafting procedures. Roach is witty but empathetic, and genuinely in awe of medical advances like 3D-printed organs. The production will leave listeners thinking about the amazing intricacies of the human body and the many medical innovations on the horizon.
