Fantastic read. When I felt disenfranchised that any depiction of the future had a sad, inevitable dystopia ending, I did a search and serendipitously found this book which reaffirmed my belief that human beings will make problems but ultimately we have the capacity to solve them.

I wasn't sure what this book was going to be about exactly. Initially I was bored but I found myself being intrigued more and more with each page. This is science for the future for the general population. You will be bored if you are well versed in nanotechnology, robotics, genetics, etc. We have the impossible being built all over the country its pretty amazing what we as a species have accomplished in 100 years. The future is bright and perhaps those dystopian novels can take note: for every mad scientists with questionable morals there is another one trying to save the world.

From trans-humanism to robots that are capable of thinking, Mark Stevenson provides a vantage albeit controversial insight as to how burgeoning advances in Science and Technology could prove to be a boon as well as a bane to the future of mankind.
