"'Fascinating ... Parker's writing is elegant and often lyrical ... As someone who has lived as a ""hybrid"" for more than a decade, Parker never forgets the realities of everyday life, which encompass both pain and beauty. This may be a tour of the scientific avant garde, but the focus is always on the human heart and mind' - Book of the Day 'Harry Parker has explored the cutting edge of interaction between humanity, computing and AI ... a captivating and cautionary travel guide to a new world' - Gavin Francis, author of Adventures in Human Being 'I loved Hybrid Humans. It is modest, wise ... and a way of looking at the future without nostalgia for the past' - Jeanette Winterson 'A terrific writer' - Elizabeth Day 'Hybrid Hymans is an argument for the work of salvage ... The cracks - the brokenness intimating precarity and mortality - create value and even beauty, as well as ways to connect with others' - Times Literary Supplement"
