title = {Biohacking, Bodies and Do-It-Yourself: The Cultural Politics of Hacking Life Itself},
year = {2021},
note = {From self-help books and nootropics, to self-tracking and home health
tests, to the tinkering with technology and biological particles –
biohacking brings biology, medicine, and the material foundation of
life into the sphere of »do-it-yourself«. This trend has the
potential to fundamentally change people's relationship with their
bodies and biology but it also creates new cultural narratives of
responsibility, authority, and differentiation. Covering a broad range
of examples, this book explores practices and representations of
biohacking in popular culture, discussing their ambiguous position
between empowerment and requirement, promise and prescription.},
