An eye-opening account of disability, identity, and how robotics and technology are changing what it means to be human – from the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Soldier

Harry Parker’s life changed overnight, when he lost his legs to an IED in Afghanistan. That took him into an often surprising landscape of a very human kind of hacking, and he wondered, are all humans becoming hybrids?

Parker introduces us to the exhilarating breadth of human invention – and intervention. Grappling with his own new identity and disability, he discovers the latest robotics, tech and implants that might lead us to powerful, liberating possibilities for what a body can be.

‘I loved Hybrid Humans. A way of looking at the future without nostalgia for the past’ – Jeanette Winterson
