This book engages critically with some of the major assumptions of prominent Transhumanists
such as Nick Bostrom of Oxford University and Stefan Sorgner of John Cabot University at Rome.
More broadly questions concerning the complex relationships between society technology and
ethics are widely explored. Major thinkers such as St. Augustine Nietzsche Bertrand Russell
and C. S. Lewis are enlisted to highlight and support the major arguments presented by the
author. The book aims at a general readership interested in the current claims and possible
outcomes of the Transhumanist and Posthumanist movement. It strikes a cautionary note about
humanity's reliance on emerging technologies particularly their potential to enhance and
eventually transform human life span cognition and emotion.
