Human 2.0
A Celebration of Human Bionics
From cochlear implants and pacemakers to bionic arms and legs, pioneering technological breakthroughs have changed lives.
For some people, particularly those with disabilities, recent advances have crossed the realm of imagination into reality. People with paraplegia can walk again, those who are hearing impaired can listen to even the faintest sounds, and people with missing limbs can create beautiful works of art. This phenomenal book is a celebration of all that has been achieved so far, and a look at what might be possible in the future. Is it inevitable that technology will surpass biology?
Human 2.0 has been reviewed by Mayo Clinic rehabilitation specialist Sherilyn Driscoll, MD.
