The bestselling author of Lost Connections and Stolen Focus takes a revelatory look at the new drugs transforming weight loss as we know it.

In 2023, Johann Hari started to inject himself once a week with Ozempic. He wasn’t alone – some predictions suggest that in a few years, one in four of the British population will be taking these drugs.

To their defenders, this is a moment of liberation from a condition that massively increases your chances of diabetes, cancer and an early death. Still, Hari was wildly conflicted. Are these drugs a magic solution – or a magical illusion?
