Granta Books has signed To Be a Machine: Encounters with a Post-Human Future by Mark O'Connell. <\/p>\n

Senior editor Max Porter signed UK and Commonwealth rights at auction from Karolina Sutton at Curtis Brown on behalf of Amelia Atlas at ICM. <\/p>\n

The book is described as \"intellectual anatomy\" of the transhumanist movement, those who believe technology can enable mankind to transcend the biological conditions of humanity, blending history, cultural criticism, in-depth profiles and essayistic reportage. <\/p>\n

Porter said: This is an outstanding piece of work. Marks proposal could be cryogenically frozen to show the robots of the future what a perfect non-fiction pitch was in 2014. To Be a Machine will be deeply intelligent, profoundly timely and frequently hilarious. All of us at Granta believe we have found a non-fiction super star. <\/p>\n

North American rights were sold to Doubleday and deals in other foreign territories are being negotiated. To Be a Machine will be published in 2016. <\/p>\n
