Hybrid humans : dispatches from the frontiers of man and machine
Harry Parker (Author), Wellcome Collection
Offers an eye-opening account of how technology might be about to alter our understanding of what it means to be human. Harry Parker's life changed overnight when he lost his legs to an IED in Afghanistan. That took him into an often surprising landscape of a very human kind of hacking, and he wondered, are all humans becoming hybrids? Whether it's putting on contact lenses every day or DIY biohackers tinkering in garages, Parker introduces us to the breadth of human invention - and intervention. Grappling with his own new identity and disability, he discovers the latest robotics, tech and implants that might lead us to powerful, liberating possibilities for what a body can be. -- From publisher's description
