About this book

New technologies, from Virtual Reality to Artificially Aided Reproduction, are rapidly altering the scope of the human subject. This collection of essays and interviews--based on a research project initiated by the Apres-Coup Psychoanalytic Group of New York--addresses how these changes may be affecting the structure and character of the mind, as well as the representation of the body.
