*A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week*
As seen on Sky Arts Book Club with Elizabeth Day and Andi Oliver
An eye-opening account of disability, identity, and how robotics and technology are changing what it means to be human - from the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Soldier
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?
Parker introduces us to the exhilarating 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.
'I loved Hybrid Humans. A way of looking at the future without nostalgia for the past' - Jeanette Winterson
