Summary
A tightly argued and expansive examination of the pitfalls of transhumanism, this book reacquaints us with what it means to live well. Author Susan B. Levin challenges transhumanists' overarching commitments regarding the mind and brain, ethics, liberal democracy, knowledge and reality, showing their notion of humanity's self-transcendence into 'posthumanity' to be little more than fantasy.
