New York Times, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, Discover bestselling
author Steven Kotler has written extensively about those pivotal moments
when science fiction became science fact...and fundamentally reshaped
the world. Now he gathers the best of his best, updated and expanded
upon, to guide readers on a mind-bending tour of the far frontier, and
how these advances are radically transforming our lives. From the ways
science and technology are fundamentally altering our bodies and our
world (the world's first bionic soldier, the future of evolution) to
those explosive collisions between science and culture (life extension
and bioweapons), we're crossing moral and ethical lines we've never
faced before.
As Kotler writes, "Life is tricky sport--and that's the emotional core
of this story, the real reason we can't put Pandora back in the box.
When you strip everything else away, technology is nothing more than the
promise of an easier tomorrow. It's the promise of hope. And how do you
stop hope?"
Join Kotler in this fascinating exploration of our incredible next: a
deep dive into those future technologies happening now--and what it
means to be a part of this brave new world.
