The incredible book behind the primetime Channel 4 documentary,
Peter: The Human Cyborg 'A remarkable account of what it means to
be human and what technology can really achieve' Sunday Telegraph
'Peter's story is one of the most extraordinary you will ever hear.
I urge people to read it' Stephen Fry 'A remarkable story . . .
you're left desperate to take nothing for granted' Radio Times
__________ Peter, a brilliant scientist, is told that he will lose
everything he loves. His husband. His family. His friends. His
ability to travel the world. All will be gone. But Peter will not
give up. He vows that this will not be the end and instead seeks a
completely new beginning . . . Peter has Motor Neurone Disease, a
condition universally considered by doctors to be terminal. He is
told it will destroy his nerve cells and that within about two
years, it will take his life too. But, face-to-face with death, he
decides there is another way. Using his background in science and
technology, he navigates a new path, one that will enable him not
just to survive, but to thrive. This is the astonishing true story
about Peter Scott-Morgan: the first person to combine his very
humanity with artificial intelligence and robotics to become a full
Cyborg. His discovery means that his terminal diagnosis is
negotiable, something that will rewrite the future. And change the
world. By embracing love, life and hope rather than fear, tragedy
and despair, he will become Peter 2.0. __________ 'Compelling . . .
Scott-Morgan is a true one-off. It is in the telling of the love
story, rather than the technical details of becoming a cyborg, that
this book succeeds' The Times 'What's striking is Peter's constant
optimism, bravery and his ability to find radical answers to
problems that have confounded Britain's brightest minds' Daily
Telegraph 'A soaring love story' Financial Times 'Fascinating and
extremely moving' Sun
