<font size=4 color="#808080"><b>The book, THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS IDEA
is in the works!<br><br>
</b></font>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
<i>Enough - Staying Human in an Engineered Age</i>. But when
Francis Fukuyama made the resounding statement that
"transhumanism" is "the world's most dangerous idea,"
it was the last straw.<br><br>
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. <br><br>
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. <br><br>

MOST DANGEROUS IDEA.<br><br>
Best wishes,<br><br>
