Abstract

The book is an investigation into why microchipping, despite its many negative connotations in an international context, is so relatively defused in Sweden. The book’s discussion is built around interviews with 15 chipped Swedes, and the Swedish case is studied from three main themes: Surveillance, Science fiction and Transhumanism.
