Critics Review

Compelling … Scott-Morgan is a true one-off. It is in the telling of the love story, rather than the technical details of becoming a cyborg, that this book succeeds * The Times *
With candour and bravery, Peter tells how he explored new frontiers of science to give himself a chance of survival in a digital afterlife * Daily Mail *
Peter’s story is one of the most extraordinary you will ever hear … Remarkable. I urge people to read it – Stephen Fry
A remarkable account of what it means to be human and what technology can really achieve * Sunday Telegraph *
A remarkable story … you’re left desperate to take nothing for granted * Radio Times *
Astonishing * Daily Mail *
What’s striking is Peter’s constant optimism, bravery and his ability to find radical answers to problems that have confounded Britain’s brightest minds * Daily Telegraph *
Life-affirming … The most extraordinary thing about scientist Dr Peter Scott-Morgan, aside from his optimism, is his relentless capacity for joy * Daily Mail *
A soaring love story * Financial Times *
Fascinating and extremely moving * Sun *
