A Step from Eternity: How I Became a Cyborg to Beat Death

In 2017, American robotics scientist Peter Scott-Morgan was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—a disease that doctors deem incurable (this affliction once destroyed the nerve cells of Stephen Hawking). But Scott-Morgan did not give up. He used his extensive knowledge, experience,... and the latest technologies to replace some of the impaired functions of his body with electronics. Then the scientist decided to transfer his avatar into a computer using artificial intelligence and become Peter 2.0, to not only defeat the disease but also gain a chance at eternal life in a machine. This book describes an experiment similar to the plot of a science fiction film, yet it is completely real. Thanks to the scientist's efforts, people with disabilities are getting a chance to survive. The Peter 2.0 experiment has the potential to change the future.
