Recenzii

Fascinating ... Parker's writing is elegant and often lyrical ... As someone who has lived as a "hybrid" for more than a decade, Parker never forgets the realities of everyday life, which encompass both pain and beauty. This may be a tour of the scientific avant garde, but the focus is always on the human heart and mind
Harry Parker has explored the cutting edge of interaction between humanity, computing and AI ... a captivating and cautionary travel guide to a new world
I loved Hybrid Humans. It is modest, wise ... and a way of looking at the future without nostalgia for the past
A terrific writer
Hybrid Hymans is an argument for the work of salvage ... The cracks - the brokenness intimating precarity and mortality - create value and even beauty, as well as ways to connect with others
Absorbing ... Parker takes us on a tour of the weird and wonderful world where man and machine meet
