Future Superhuman

‘One of the most entertaining, fascinating, and thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time! Future Superhuman provides a breathtakingly original, broad and optimistic view of a transhuman future. Elise Bohan’s fresh and unique voice comes through on every page: bold, fearless, fun and relentless on the absurdities of the human condition. She could well be the next big non-fiction star, at home in the same constellation as Yuval Noah Harari, Carl Sagan or Elizabeth Kolbert.’ –Rob Brooks, Scientia Professor of Evolution, UNSW, author of Artificial Intimacy‘There’s much doom and gloom about humanity’s future, understandably so at a time of climate change and large-scale environmental collapse. But there’s another side to what’s coming, and it won’t all be bad. Elise Bohan is your travel guide to the future of human minds and bodies. Enjoy the trip - your guide is as sharp, savvy, lively and entertaining as you could ever want.’ –Russell Blackford, author of At the Dawn of a Great Transition: The Question of Radical Enhancement
