The New York Times, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, Discover Magazine. Best-selling 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.
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.
