Book Description
On 14th March this year, Kevin Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at Reading University will have a computer chip surgically inserted into his nervous system and then a week or so later, when the safety of this operation has been ascertained, a similar chip will be inserted into his wife. Both will be linked to a computer. A key part of the experiment involves the hope that emotions and experiences such as intoxication, anger, lust will be read in terms of patterns of nervous excitement from the chip into the computer and recorded, then beamed back into the chip so that these feelings can be re-experienced. When two people have chips will their experiences be communicable? If one feels desire in New York, will the other be able to feel it in London? In this incredibly exciting and potentially ground-breaking experiment, by making practical direct mind-to-mind communication, as well as direct mind-to-computer communication, Kevin Warwick will be changing forever just what it means to be human.
