Présentation de l'éditeur:

Michael Chorost went completely deaf in his thirties and rather than live in silence he choose to have a computer surgically embedded in his skull, artificially restoring his hearing. 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. This is a message from the technological frontier (a new world that was developed in the UK and Australia, as much as the USA), and a haunting evocation of the sounds that are all round us (until deafness strikes) that reassess what we hear, and how we experience the world, in an entirely new way.
