Harry Parker's life changed overnight when he lost his legs to an IED in Afghanistan. That took him into an often surprising landscape of a very human kind of hacking, and he wondered, are all humans hybrids?

'It's a boy!' or 'It's a girl!' are the first words almost all of us hear when we enter the world.
