It is in the telling of the love story, rather than the technical details of becoming a cyborg, that this book succeeds The Times 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 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 Breathtaking . . . We were mesmerised by the boundless creative intelligence, positivity and love that pours from these pages.

Full of humour, pathos, challenging ideas and hope, Peter 2.0 explores the fascinating philosophical dilemmas that such a future will involve -- Marcus du Sautoy, Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford and author of The Creativity Code Peter's extraordinary autobiography reminds us of what it is to be human and how important it is to live a life full of love.
