After a meeting with the world’s first cyborg artists Neil Harbisson and Moon Ribas, Kai Landre, a young Spanish musician, is inspired to attempt what many would consider unthinkable: he takes up the chance to have a cybernetic organ implanted into his body. Is this illegal? Yes. But, if successful, the implant promises to allow an extra sense—the ability to perceive sounds coming from outer space—and a new vein of musical inspiration. Through MRI scans and the concern of his friends and family, Landre navigates the science and emotions as the procedure develops. Cyborg Generation illustrates the possibility of a kind of Life 3.0, as the desire to extend beyond the traditional idea of the self becomes too alluring to resist. A space to call one’s own, where creativity and personal freedom flourish, is a state of being that sits at the heart of this subversive and fascinating journey of self-discovery.
