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.

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.

Poll (Humor): How to Spend $5 Million to Become Superhuman -- Part III -- AL, CPS, Easy, Hum, MA, Plan, Self, $$$

So how are you going to call yourself a superguy/gal (in the classic sense) if you can't hop from building to building, whip up implausible supertech from scratch (or scrap) and become an unparalleled expert on dozens of obscure subjects ( "Iocane powder. I'd know it anywhere!"). In order to pull off feats like these, you're going to need an edge. Actually, several.

So let's do what we have to, my fellow not-quite-superbeings... and "cheat." =)

Your choices are...

Practice superskills like...

...freerunning. So I can get around the city’s obstacles and rooftops like Batman. Hopefully. (“Aaaahhhh!!!!” )
