Harry Parker

We live in an age where the relationship between humans and machines has never been closer. In his extraordinary book about how people relate to technology, Hybrid Humans, Harry Parker explores the limits of what the human body can be. Since his accident when he was a soldier in Afghanistan, in which he lost both his legs, he has become acutely aware of what technology can and can't achieve. Our relationship with everything from our mobile phones to our cars makes us all hybrids, he argues. But as an amputee he has found himself on the frontier of the latest scientific research, looking at everything from the latest prosthetics to the very nature of humanity itself.
