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.

Stuxnet as a "Cybernetic Weapon of Mass Destruction"

Ralph Langner's analysis of the Stuxnet malware.

Two key points:
One, this work is brilliant, but generic, and could be redirected to sabotage many infrastructure targets, particularly in the developed world.

Two, we had better get ready for that.

In the wake of the havoc caused by natural disasters and human error at Fukushima Daiichi, his points are well taken.
