Divided into three sections, Bio Tech covers medical horizons, biology, and bio-tech living; each chapter delves into more specific aspects of each area, explaining cells, artificial body parts, robots, foods, etc. Internet begins with a brief history of its development, various aspects of the Web, commerce and communication, and information.
