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.

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



*

Canada's lost land doesn't look like much and it isn't -- compared to her overall size. But given how dear arable land and suitable urban sites are in that nation, she will face an interesting race between an in some ways improving climate and the same dislocations and agricultural shortfalls facing most nations, as unstable weather patterns make conditions less than ideal for almost any crops.



Meanwhile, if Canada does manage to settle down and adjust to the new climate, she'll still have to concern herself with all the other refugees in North America, some of whom will inevitably come north. Forcing Canada to try and control a population that could theoretically become larger than her own.
