Description
Radical Evolution: The Promise and Peril of Enhancing Our Minds, Our Bodies--and What It Means to Be Human. By Joel Garreau. New York, NY, Doubleday, 2005. 273 pages plus Suggested Readings, Notes and Index. Several prominent thinkers and writers, and a few scientists and engineers, believe that humankind is poised to use technology to transcend its human nature acquired over eons of evolution by natural selection. Joel Garreau's Radical Evolution describes views of these futurists and four technologies that drive their forecasts--genetic, robotic, information, and nano processes. Garreau collectively calls these the GRIN technologies. How might these transform humans?
