Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating collection of portraits of people who have re-created themselves through plastic surgery. Toledano believes that these people are the vanguard for a period of human-induced evolution, representing a turning point in history where beauty and physicality can be controlled and defined. Through his arresting portraits, he explores how controlling beauty can influence its power as a currency, whether beauty is informed by culture, history or the surgeon's hand and the reasons why people are compelled to re-make themselves.
