Sex Robots & Vegan Meat by Jenny Kleeman
Provocative, funny and brilliantly reported, join Jenny Kleeman as she meets the strange people who are creating our future and changing what it means to be human today.
A tour of the lurid fringes of the tech world. . Kleeman is an acerbic guide, whose understated common sense contrasts with the grandiosity of her interviewees. * The Times *
A moreish page-turner of a book that will leave you feeling informed and ready for the next dinner party. * Herald *
A fascinating book . . . It was so absolutely absorbing. I really, really loved this book. -- Jane Garvey * BBC Radio 4 *
Mesmerising * Daily Mail *
The future is a fairly scary place, but there is no better guide to it than Jenny Kleeman. By turns alarming, funny, thought-provoking and fascinating, this is a book that brilliantly shows us where much of our life (and death) is heading. -- Stig Abell
Fascinating . . . an epic exercise in concision – all four of these sprawling chapters could have run to books on their own, and at times I wish they had -- Eleanor Halls * Daily Telegraph *
Thoughtful scepticism makes Kleeman a savvy guide, and her fresh insights into, for example, disruptive technology’s gender dimension, underpin provocative takes on progress and human nature itself. Thoroughly absorbing * Observer *
Kleeman’s entertaining survey of the latest advances in life sciences . . . a little like Louis Theroux
channelling Margaret Atwood. She is an accomplished storyteller
A moreish page-turner of a book that will leave you feeling informed and ready for the next dinner party. * Herald *
A pleasingly sceptical investigation into the innovations that could change the way we eat, have sex
and die . . . compelling and thoughtful
A fascinating book . . . It was so absolutely absorbing. I really, really loved this book. -- Jane Garvey * BBC Radio 4 *
Mesmerising * Daily Mail *
Thoughtful and diverting . . . Even if it doesn’t have the answers, this elegantly written and eye-
opening book poses the right questions
A fascinating examination of what the future holds . . . you will never look at a chicken
nugget in quite the same way again
