One of the most pressing debates of our age is outlined in insightful, humorous prose that asks all the big questions. This is a fascinating personal journey, with a wider importance than the personal. Its issues will be widely debated in the media on publication. The serialisation is under negotiation. The author tour, included a high profile speaking engagement for the publication launch. Michael Chorost became a cyborg when he had a computer surgically embedded in his skull to artificially restore his hearing. Chorost went from deafness to hearing, from human to cyborg. The combination of flesh and computer has long been a science fiction staple, but this witty, illuminating memoir outlines how that fantasy is becoming reality. Chorost reveals how his body becomes more mechanical, he can plug himself directly into a CD player, his hearing is upgraded as new software is developed. He confronts the role of human in a machine age: if the senses are programmable, can they be trusted; are cyborgs still human? This is a brilliant despatch from the technological frontier, a report of the possibilities of the technological age.
