My wife sent me a photo of this book cover (left) from an airplane magazine. I haven't read the book, but I can tell already he's on target, or at least is broaching an important subject with some urgency. Especially when reviewers say "it's not as close as he thinks but he makes some good points."
It's not?
What is Transhumanism?
Transhumanism has a variety of definitions and can be made to appear as just an innocuous notion. We're plagued with mechanization and digitalization. It moves information, ourselves, our economy. How can it be bad? Why not use it to enhance our capabilities?
Yeah, but where do you draw the line? What's really going on?

"The transhumanist vision of a transformed future humanity, which is influenced by the techno-utopias depicted in some great works of science fiction, has attracted many supporters and detractors from a wide range of perspectives.[4] Transhumanism has been condemned by one critic, Francis Fukuyama, as the world's most dangerous idea,[6] while one proponent, Ronald Bailey, counters that it is the "movement that epitomizes the most daring, courageous, imaginative, and idealistic aspirations of humanity".[7]"OK, make it look like there's some discussion on the matter, blah blah. In reality it's all over the place and getting shoved down our throats as the "wave of the future". From commercials to pop stars to military "breakthroughs" we're seeing the robotization agenda in full swing.
It's a definite dehumanizing trend that is being programmed into an unsuspecting human population.
