While the concept was interesting, it was far too scientific for me.

The author takes one or more of most of the new types of genetic / imaging / blood / etc. tests currently on the market, and some not yet available at large. And determines, in a nutshell, that they are mostly just about impossible to make sense of at this time. Confirming what I already expected, and saving me the hassle and expense.

There is lots of text of the sort "my test revealed that I have a value of 375 for X, whereas the average person has 225, which seems to indicate that I have a higher risk for Y. But this the other test I told you about in the last chapter shows I have a reduced risk for Y." But, there is enough interesting stuff interspersed to make the book worthwhile overall.
