The Transhumanist Reader<\/em><\/a>, edited by Max More and Natasha Vita-More is scheduled for publication in late April. This includes a solid\u00a0essay by me in which I set out my general understanding of (and attitude to) transhumanism. I’m told\u00a0that it contains a total of 40 essays on transhumanism, or aspects of it. At this stage I haven’t seen the whole book or even a list of its contents, though the editors are major figures in the transhumanist movement (as well as just plain nice people), and I gather that they have assembled a\u00a0distinguished cast of contributors.<\/p>\nAs you’ll see, there’s a hardback and a paperback edition (the latter quite\u00a0reasonably priced for a large volume from an academic press). Hopefully an electronic edition will also be released.<\/p>\n
Obviously\u00a0I can’t give you a review of the book when I haven’t read it myself (and I’d be biased, anyway, as a contributor). Still, this is one to watch out for. If you have an interest in transhumanism, you just might want to pre-order it. Or maybe wait until further information is available. For myself, I’m excited to have a place in what I’m certain is going to be an important volume.<\/p>\n
