"Pulse charts the growing power of a "new biology," of human systems and machines that work like living things. Written in simple prose, Pulse describes emotional computers; ships that swim like fish; hard, soft, and wet artificial life; farms that grow like prairies; technological ecosystems; money that mimics the energy flow in nature; evolution at warp speed; and a great deal more. And these are not blue-sky dreams; they are even now leaving labs and entering our daily lives." "Pulse is an original work, offering thoughtful conclusions about the promise - and dangers - of our transformation as we move into the next great phase of human cultural evolution."--BOOK JACKET.
