The incredible and inspiring book behind the primetime Channel 4 documentary, Peter: The Human Cyborg

'With candour and bravery, Peter tells how he explored new frontiers of science to give himself a chance of survival in a digital afterlife' Daily Mail
__________
Peter didn't choose to live forever. He simply chose not to die.
Diagnosed with a rare but terminal Motor Neuron Disease, brilliant scientist Peter Scott-Morgan refused to accept that within a few short years he'd be dead.
Instead, he embarked on a dangerous journey - to cross the border between mortality and immortality.
He would meld his humanity with the latest computer and robotic technology to become Peter 2.0.
This is the astonishing story of a man uniquely placed to pursue a new way of life that would not only alter him but perhaps redefine w hat it means to be human forever.

Rezension:
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
