An Optimist's Tour of the Future
Mark Stevenson's voyage of discovery takes him to Oxford to meet Transhumanists (they intend to live forever), to Boston where he confronts a robot with mood swings, to an underwater cabinet meeting, and Australia to question the Outback's smartest farmer. He gets to grips with the potential of nanotechnology, delves deep into the possibilities of biotech, sees a revolution in communications, and glimpses the next stage of human evolution ... and tries to make sense of what's in store. Insightful and often very funny, this is a book that tracks one man's journey to find out 'what's next?'.
