An exciting encyclopedia of weird scientific projects that explore what it means to be alive, perfect for anyone curious about what it will mean to be a human in the future... Schwartzman is an extraordinary curator... Thought-provoking [and] well-designed.-- ""BookPage (starred review)"" (9/1/2025 12:00:00 AM) Madeline Schwartzman brings together scientific research, AI, design, and art to explore the flourishing menagerie where the distinction between living and non-living is blurred... [Her book] contains essential reflections on the need to expand our views of what it means to be alive in a world where hybrid beings are being manufactured, engineered or bred... Alive is a brilliant book. Pop and profound. Humorous and thought-provoking. It strikes a balance between lightness and an urgent call to integrate ethics into computer and life sciences.-- ""We Make Money Not Art"" (9/23/2025 12:00:00 AM)
