I, Cyborg - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

In I, Cyborg, Professor Kevin Warwick, the world's leading expert in cybernetics, unveils the story of how he became the world's first Cyborg - a Cybernetic Organism - part human, part machine, in a groundbreaking set of scientific experiments.
He believes that in the years ahead we will witness machines with an intelligence more powerful than that of humans, and that robots, not humans, will make all the important decisions. A robot-dominated world might well have dire consequences for humankind; but is there, he asks, an alternative way ahead? Can we use technology to upgrade ourselves, to improve on our comparatively limited capabilities, to harness the ever-increasing abilities of machine intelligence, to access extra-sensory input and to communicate in a much richer way, using thought alone?
In fact, all of this is more than just a theoretical possibility. Here, Kevin Warwick reveals how he has taken the first practical steps on this fascinating path, using himself as a guinea pig receiving, by surgical operation, technological implants connected to his central nervous system.
