Product details

Will humanity experience an update, as the prosthetist Hugh Herr has predicted with his concept of "Humans 2.0"? The discussion surrounding the high-tech prosthetics of Oscar Pistorius or the eye-catching wearable technology like Google Glass reflects a shift in ideas about physicality: Enhancements to and around the body are no longer seen merely as necessary compensations for deficiencies, but rather as desirable optimizations and improvements. Are bodies becoming "manufacturable"? Karin Harrasser critically examines the new discourses and practices surrounding the body and questions the possibilities and limits of the technical enhancement of humanity.
