Summary

This five-part series probes fundamental changes taking place in the world today, involving such fields as computer technology, neurobiology and genetic engineering. Volume 1 looks at how machines are speeding up the pace of life, and why speed is so attractive. Volume 2 explores the current and future state of human/machine hybrids. Volume 3 questions what makes a family--nature or nurture, covention or commitment. It profiles a family with 3 biological and 11 adopted children. Volume 4 discusses cloning of humans and animals, and the ethical questions involved. Volume 5 follows pioneering brain surgeons and people with brain disorders (autism and Williams syndrome).
