Americans have always been the world's most anxiously enthusiastic
consumers of "enhancement technologies." Prozac, Viagra, and Botox
injections are only the latest manifestations of a familiar
pattern: enthusiastic adoption, public hand-wringing, an occasional
congressional hearing, and calls for self-reliance. In a brilliant
diagnosis of our reactions to self-improvement technologies, Carl
Elliott asks questions that illuminate deep currents in the
American character: Why do we feel uneasy about these drugs,
procedures, and therapies even while we embrace them? Where do we
draw the line between self and society? Why do we seek
self-realization in ways so heavily influenced by cultural
conformity?
