The book investigates the complex intersections of biological flesh and informational systems. It examines how these two seemingly disparate realms influence and transform each other, drawing on diverse examples such as the parallels between LSD and DNA research, the impact of computer-assisted surgery, and the integration of the human body into virtual reality environments.

This collection of essays and responses is likely to appeal to scholars and readers interested in the philosophical and scientific implications of the body in the digital age. The interdisciplinary approach, bridging biology, technology, and cultural studies, suggests a text that provokes thought on the evolving definition of the human. The focus on specific, intriguing case studies indicates a work that grounds abstract concepts in concrete examples.
