Description
Summary:Purpose - To celebrate the life and achievements of Felix Geyer by addressing issues of mutual interest, in a light-hearted and informative fashion.Design methodology approach - Adopts a polemical style that encapsulates the conclusions that will appeal to many types and affiliations of reader.Findings - That, on the one hand, Felix Geyer is a cool dude who once smoked cigars and wore a raincoat. That, on the other hand, by walking around with "implants" in his body, and by celebrating publicising this fact to the mass media, Kevin Warwick raised issues that remind us of the cult of the dandy.Originality value - Style, agenda, and range of concerns are unorthodox.
