Future Imperative

What if technology were being developed that could enhance your mind or body to extraordinary or even superhuman levels -- and some of these tools were already here? Wouldn't you be curious?

Actually, some are here. But human enhancement is an incredibly broad and compartmentalized field. We’re often unaware of what’s right next door. This site reviews resources and ideas from across the field and makes it easy for readers to find exactly the information they're most interested in.

About Me

Name:

The future is coming fast, and it's no longer possible to ignore how rapidly the world is changing. As the old order changes -- or more frequently crumbles altogether -- I offer a perspective on how we can transform ourselves in turn... for the better. Nothing on this site is intended as legal, financial or medical advice. Indeed, much of what I discuss amounts to possibilities rather than certainties, in an ever-changing present and an ever-uncertain future.

The Methusaleh Mouse Man May Live Forever... -- Bio, Long, SkiP, Soc

Here's a link to a short but interesting article about Aubrey de Grey, one of the leading voices promoting longevity research. In de Grey's case, he's interested in effective immortality. The piece is an interesting look at someone who is making the anti-aging fight a mainstream issue and at why his efforts are not always appreciated within the field.

Slate is still making this article openly accessible, but I don't know at what point they archive it and make it harder to reach.
