Alive: Synthetic cells, feral robots, rebellious AI, and the design of radical life

A timely examination ofa wide range of projectsexploring the boundariesof our existence. How can a drone smell? Is a silicone jellyfish with a rat’s heart “alive”? Things that once seemed impossible are now becoming not only possible but mainstream. In the coming years, nearly all realms of our existence, will involve experiments with human and non-human living tissue impacting the worlds of medicine, art, and design as well as our everyday lives, so it''s about time we got to grips with what these new lifeforms can do.Alive
