[extropy-chat] Book: THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS IDEA

[Natasha Vita-More]

Friends, Futurists and Colleagues -

The book, THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS IDEA is in the works!

Bill Joy's Wired article in 2000 was a salvo that ricocheted around the 
world, causing fear and angst among people about the future of 
technology.  To add insult to injury, in 2004 Bill McKibben wrote Enough - 
Staying Human in an Engineered Age.  But when Francis Fukuyama made the 
resounding statement that "transhumanism" is "the world's most dangerous 
idea," it was the last straw.

Since then, Dr. Max More and Natasha Vita-More have been in the process of 
writing THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS IDEA as a reply to the salvos of Joy, 
Fukuyama and McKibben.

Max More has written about the affects of technology on society, economics, 
politics and the environment, much of which is explicitly expressed in his 
declaration "Letter to Mother Nature."  Vita-More designed the 
quintessential future body, "Primo Posthuman," which applies the key 
technologies Joy, Fukuyama and McKibben fear.

Please contact us if you are interested in contributing to THE WORLD'S MOST 
DANGEROUS IDEA.

Best wishes,

Extropy Institute
