GARREAU Joel

Radical evolution : the promise and peril of enhancing our minds, our bodies and what it means to be human / Joel Garreau. - New York : Broadway, 2006 - 384 p.

Various branches of science, from medicine to engineering, are currently working on ways to advance what humans can do. Ideas which sound like science fiction may become science fact in the not too distant future. Among these are greatly extended healthy lifespans, improved mental capacities, and enhanced physical capacities with technological interfaces. This book is concerned with the implications of such developments as well as with the technologies themselves.
