# Live! At The Library: An Evening with Mary Roach

We live in a technologically advanced era, but is it so advanced that replacement body parts are common, even grown from 3D printers? What does it mean to be human when body parts may come from printers or animals? With her infectious curiosity, bestselling author Mary Roach, talked about her new book “Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy,” at this event. Mary Roach is the author of seven best-selling works of nonfiction, including “Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War,” “Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers” and most recently, “Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law.” Her writing has appeared in National Geographic and the New York Times Magazine, among other publications. She lives in California.
