I, Cyborg Reviews

An intriguing account by Britain's - and the world's - leading expert in cybernetics of his experiment: for the first time ever artificial intelligence was implanted in a human - himself. In February of this year, Kevin Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at Reading University, had a computer chip surgically inserted into his nervous system and then, when the safety of this operation was ascertained, a similar chip was inserted in his wife. Both are linked to a computer. A key part of the experiment involves the hope that emotions and experiences will be read in terms of patterns of nervous excitement from the chip into the computer. This great British breakthrough was a huge news story around the world with the experiment's huge medical and scientific implications for the future; the book will create much interest.
