Sinossi
Nascita, cibo, sesso, morte: sono quattro esperienze fondamentali della vita umana, che la definiscono e la sintetizzano e che ognuno di noi deve affrontare. Ma la tecnologia sta spingendo sempre più in là le frontiere, i limiti stessi di queste esperienze, cambiandone il significato. Cosa succederebbe se potessimo avere figli senza gravidanze? Se potessimo avere rapporti sessuali soddisfacenti senza bisogno di altri esseri umani? Se potessimo mangiare cibo creato in laboratorio? Se potessimo morire quando vogliamo, in modo del tutto indolore? Jenny Kleeman ha scritto un reportage sul futuro (prossimo) di eros, cibo, morte e nascita: ha intervistato robot del sesso coscienti e senzienti, indistinguibili dagli esseri umani, ha assaggiato la carne allevata in provetta e ha partecipato a incontri riservatissimi dove si danno alle persone gli strumenti tecnici per morire quando desiderano, nel modo meno doloroso possibile. Ha visto cose, insomma, che noi umani non potremmo neppure immaginarci e ha intervistato i loro creatori, per capire quale sia il limite oltre il quale non potremo più definirci umani. Ammesso che ce ne sia uno.

Recensioni
The book deals with interesting topics that should be discussed: sex robots, cultured meat, euthanasia machines and growing babies outside of the womb. By reading the book you learn about the recent developments in these fields which for me made it worth the read. However, I struggled to read the bo Leggi tutto
Incredibly well written thought provoking book. The selection of sex, food, birth and death allows a perfect flow. The characters were very engaging and the I absolutely loved the core message of the book which you should definitely find out for yourself. I immediately started reading her articles o Leggi tutto
One of those books that stay with you makes you think for some time afterwards. A pure pleasure to read of exciting new things that soon will change our world as we know it. Some sections were more interesting and new to me than others. I've heard a lot of the sex dolls for men (99% of the merchandi Leggi tutto
I don't like writing negative reviews but Jesus her cruel shamey editorializing about the people giving her their time for free...I had to put it down before I made it to the end of the sex dolls chapter.
Am fascinated by the ethical questions raised during every part of the book. Really enjoyed the way each section posed questions about the technology and who would benefit and who would suffer. It raised lots of questions for me, especially around surrogacy and the women whose womb’s are being taken Leggi tutto
Hard to rate this one. The topics are fascinating, but I don't care at all about the writing style. The research is as lazily as possible. Every chapter is basically an interview with an entrepreneur in the field. The author has the annoying habit of presenting herself as a protagonist in a novel, w Leggi tutto
I really wanted to enjoy this - the subjects are really interesting - but the writing style just didn't suit me at all. My issue, not the book's, I'm sure other people will enjoy it very much. These subjects really are important and they're interesting to learn about. Just maybe from another book, f Leggi tutto
Absolutely loved this book. Incredibly well written and researched- it raises ethical questions about how much we want technology involved with our lives, birth, death and food. I found it challenged me in places to think about aspects of this I hadn’t previously. I loved it.
