I, Cyborg
An account of an artificial intelligence experiment in humans.Computer chips will be inserted into the nervous systems of both the author, a professor of Cybernetics, and his wife. The experiment is to determine if emotions such as intoxication, anger, lust, can be read by the computer in terms of patterns of nervous excitement. Can these recorded emotions be beamed back to the chip in the body and experienced all over again? Will the emotions be communicable between two people – if one feels desire in New York, will the other be able to feel it in London? Will it change forever what it means to be human?

If you're even remotely interested in the field of human enhancement, you'll likely already know Dr. Warwicks name. As a long term researcher in the subject of cybernetics, his work has explored the practical applications of today's technology to enhance the human experience and has pushed the field forward in surprising and exciting new ways.
I, Cyborg is the story of Dr. Warwick, his research, and the exciting (and sometimes dangerous) things he's done and what he believes possible will be in our near future. It is a deeply personal journey with twists and turns that will take you by surprise as often as it makes you think 'what if' as you feel your own excitement about the future build.
