### Consider reading Robin Hanson's "The Age of Em". This is not s-f but
rather hard-headed economic analysis of a possible upload world. I disagree
with some of his points but overall it's quite insightful, as you may
expect.

I don't think human genetic engineering will have an impact on our future.
AI singularity will happen long before that, some uploading will happen
after that, and genetic engineering of biological humans will be a niche
activity, if any.
