Metal and Flesh

We techno-organic beings born from the re-mix of pixels and particles growing on a substrate of global connective tissue will find that Ollivier Dyens's illuminating engaging and insightful book takes us to the furthest edge of the post-biological culture. His is a non-linear vision of emergent mind and transformative body. Total immersion is recommended!

...a very important contribution to the growing field of body-studies and to media culture, at large.

Dyens's discussion of the most momentous issues we face is creative, sophisticated, and also—shockingly enough—clear and sensible. An important contribution to our understanding of who we are and what we are becoming.
