This is the story of his journey, from silence to hearing, from human to cyborg, and how it transformed him. As Chorost reveals in a witty, poignant and perceptive memoir, when a human can plug himself directly into a CD player, can upgrade his hearing with new software, it forces him to confront what it means to be human in a machine age.* A FINE, AS NEW, copy of the 1st.edition, 1st. imp. with NO VISIBLE FAULTS.* 2005-06-02. n.
