ISBN: 0415969042 ISBN-13: 9780415969048 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $161.50 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: November 2003 Annotation: In an age of cloning, cyborgs, and biotechnology, the line between bodies and bytes seems to be disappearing. "Data Made Flesh" is the first collection to address the increasingly important links between information and embodiment, at a moment when we are routinely tempted, in the words of Donna Haraway, "to be raptured out of the bodies that matter in the lust for information," whether in the rush to complete the Human Genome Project or in the race to clone a human being. From cybernetics to genomics, this timely collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the fate of the body at the cutting edge of technology. |
