Imagine being able to hear for the first time, or see in full-color, or take your first steps on Earth. This incredible book celebrates the remarkable achievements made in medical engineering, and offers a glimpse of what the future might hold for humanity.

Pioneering technological breakthroughs have truly changed lives. For some people, particularly those with disabilities, recent advances have crossed the realms of the purely imaginable, and reached a place of possibility. People with paraplegia can walk again, those who are hearing impaired can listen to even the faintest sounds, and some people with missing limbs can create beautiful works of art. This phenomenal book is a celebration of all that has been achieved so far, and a look at what might be possible in the near future. Is it inevitable that technology will surpass biology?

Fromcochlear implantsandpacemakers, tobionic armsandlegs, this empowering book also features spotlights on pioneers including ParalympiansRichard WhiteheadandBlake Leeper, and the world's first 'cyborg'Neil Harbisson.
