This type of material can be useful to spread transhumanist memes among
teenagers.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT><BR>In the coming decades, technologies
like genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology will
transform humanity. A strange new world is unfolding -- nightmarish to some,
utopian to others. Soon we'll have the power to reshape our children's genes,
build machines that think, and upload our minds into computers. <BR>And Earth no
longer confines us. Space tourism, mining the Moon and asteroids, a settlement
on Mars: all are dreams poised to take wing. The universe of <A
href="http://www.sjgames.com/transhumanspace/">Transhuman Space</A> is a
synthesis of these two visions -- a world in which ultra-technology and space
travel fuse to forge a new destiny for mankind. Neither utopia nor dystopia, it
is a place of hopes, fears, and new frontiers. <BR>I have not seen the book but
from the description on the website it seems a good way to introduce young
persons to these concepts. <BR>It's the year 2100. Humans have colonized the
solar system. China and America struggle for control of Mars. The Royal Navy
patrols the asteroid belt. Nanotechnology has transformed life on Earth forever,
and gene-enhanced humans share the world with artificial intelligences and
robotic cybershells. Our solar system has become a setting as exciting and alien
as any interstellar empire. Pirate spaceships hijacking black holes . . .
sentient computers and artificial "bioroids" demanding human rights . . .
nanotechnology and mind control . . . Transhuman Space is cutting-edge science
fiction adventure that begins where cyberpunk ends. <BR>This book contains a
complete roleplaying game: A future history of the next 100 years: the rise of
China, the terraforming of Mars, and the birth of the first artifical
intelligence - A gazetteer of solar solar system, from Earth to thriving
colonies on Luna, Mars, and beyond - A detailed encyclopedia of transhuman space
- Dozens of transhuman character templates, from space-adapted parahumans to
digital infomorphs.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
