Review: '101 Theory Drive'The supreme ambition of all such work is to wipe out Alzheimer's disease, an outcome currently only a blip on the horizon. Biology is not an exact science. McDermott nicely characterizes the human organism as "a magnificent contraption, a sackful of accidents." He concludes at the end of his long stint at 101 Theory Drive: "We are compromised, full of repurposed parts, always building on top of what was already there. The human brain, by any definition, is a kluge. It's amazing it works at all."
