Description

The terrain between science and speculation is explored in Wetwares by Richard Doyle. This book maps out potential human transformations through new ecologies of information in the early twenty-first century. Doyle examines recent research in artificial life, cloning, cryonics, computer science, organ transplantation, and other areas to show how emerging scientific paradigms are redefining what it means to be alive. The author views technologies of immortality as disciplines for welcoming a future that is neither defined by traditional concepts of capital, god, human, or organism. By exploring the intersection of technology and life, Doyle offers tools for an evolutionary transformation in the decades to come.
