This study is one of the most detailed and comprehensive analyses available today. Highly recommended for anyone interested in transhumanist\/posthumanist ideas and in these issues generally.\u201d N. Katherine Hayles, University of California, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn eye-opening, wide-ranging and all-inclusive study of transhumanism. Sorgner\u2019s account avoids both the utopian trap and the bogeyman spectre. He makes a compelling case for placing ourselves on the transhuman spectrum. How we continue to use technologies is in our hands. Sorgner\u2019s book is both a comprehensive introduction to transhumanist thought and a clear-sighted vision for its future realisation.\u201d Julian Savulescu, University of Oxford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Stefan Lorenz Sorgner talks about his new book, \u2018We Have Always Been Cyborgs\u2019.
