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.

Where Will You Be When the Floodwaters Rise? -- The Japanese Experience


*
Japan is in the peculiar position of being a nation of islands yet having quite a bit of relatively high ground. Still, loss of cities, agricultural land and favorable climate isn't exactly a great coup for her people. And a likely breakdown in the world economy is not good news for a country which imports so much of its natural resources and ties so much of its economy to foreign trade.
