Informative and quick paced (almost too fast paced). The artwork was well done but there were times the flow between pages was hard to follow. Not exactly sure who the target audience is for this, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

This is an interesting read, it presents the concept of the character losing his arm because of an accident and from there on the book easily took the reader into the history, consequences of prosthetics, and toward the end of the story brought about the concept of transhumanism. This is a unique book in a field where the medium is definitely limited with books about this specific disability.

Più interessante che bello, questo graphic novel ripercorre la storia delle amputazioni e delle protesi dalla loro nascita fino al transumanesimo (in questa seconda fase si perde anche un po'). Sicuramente originale.

Content warning for depictions of dismemberment and surgery.
I reaaaally liked this comic! The artwork is very thick and inviting and honestly that's the only way I could've stomached the more in detail scenes of surgery. I think the history of amputation is super interesting and the discussions around it with future technology is equally interesting. In a funny way, I feel less anxious about the idea of losing a limb after reading this.

I thought this book was very well done but, despite the title, over half of the book is focused on amputations rather than prosthetics.
