Meer over het boek
The book delves into the role of pacemakers and defibrillators in modern society, highlighting their dual nature as life-saving technologies and sources of new vulnerabilities. Nelly Oudshoorn critiques the notion that individuals with these implants are passive, emphasizing their active engagement in maintaining their health. Through this lens, the author explores the complexities of living as a cyborg, proposing a new sociology that addresses the resilience required to navigate the challenges posed by these advanced medical devices.
