In Enhancing Me examines the ways in which technology can change our bodies, our brains, our emotions, and our longevity. He talks to people who claim to have been 'enhanced' to find out what it's like and how beneficial it is; and to the experts to find out what the future holds - including a look at some of the more controversial, headline-grabbing claims.  The book also looks at what drives us to want to be 'superhuman', and the consequences for the individual and society alike. Should we insert chips into our children, so we can track where they are? If you could live forever, would you want to? If you could download your mind onto a computer, would it become you? Should we force violent criminals to have mood-controlling brain implants? Would you want technology to improve your memory or help you forget? Enhancing Me is divided into four sections: Longer than life explores whether the maximum lifespan can really be increased.  At the same time it will ask at what cost? What is the evidence that we will extend human life and make it a healthy extension? Larger than life introduces more aspects of a persons physique that could be treated, raising questions of whether a particular drug is repairing or enhancing. Smarter than life while it concludes that many claims live more comfortably in a make-believe world, the assessment shows how these visions reveal underlying fears and driving influences in western culture.  Brighter than life asks whether we want to build societies that humans live in comfortably, or whether we want to mould humans so that they can work within the society that we are creating.  Quite simply, Pete asks the million-dollar question how will human enhancement really affect us?
