An in-depth survey of the evolving science of bio-enhancement: where we are now and how to deal with it.
Michael Bess is a specialist in 20th- and 21st-century Europe, with a particular interest in the social and cultural impacts of technological change. He is the author of three other books, one of which, The Light Green Society (U Chicago Press, 2003) won the George Perkins Marsh prize (2004) of the American Society for Environmental History and an Honorable Mention (2004) from the Pinkney Prize committee of the Society for French Historical Studies.
"Michael Bess's detailed and humane book adeptly surveys some
eye-opening developments in current technology (bionic vision,
thought-controlled machines and so forth), and foresees that future
humans will enjoy double the average healthy lifespan of today,
leading to lives of multiple marriages and career changes." The
