Nota di contenuto

Representing life for a living -- Simflesh, simbones : at play in the artificial life ribotype -- Disciplined by the future : the promising bodies of cryonics -- Give me a body, then : corporeal time-images -- Remains to be seen : a self-extracting amalgam -- Uploading anticipation, becoming silicon -- Dot coma : the dead zone of media and the replication of family values -- Take my bone marrow, please : the community in which we have organs in common -- Wetwares ; or, cutting up a few aliens -- Sympathy for the alien : informatic ecologies and the proliferation of abduction.

Sommario/riassunto

Wetwares ranges over recent research in artificial life, cloning, cryonics, computer science, organ transplantation, and alien abduction. Moving between actual technical practices, serious speculative technology, and science fiction, Doyle shows us emerging scientific paradigms where "life" becomes more a matter of information than of inner vitality-in short, becomes "wetwares" for DNA and computer networks.
