Science is developing more and more potential for human beings to enhance themselves. The pace of change is rapid, and some people are already warning that we are heading for a post–human future populated by ever–lasting, self–sustaining intelligence systems into which the contents of a human mind have been poured... Is this true? In Enhancing Me, Pete Moore examines the ways in which technology can change our bodies, our brains, our emotions, and how long we live. He talks to people who have actually been ′enhanced′ to find out what it′s like and how beneficial it is; and to the experts to find out what the future holds – including a look at some of the more controversial, headline–grabbing claims. He also looks at what drives us to want to be ′superhuman′, and the consequences for the individual and society alike: If you could live forever, would you want to? If you could download your mind onto a computer, would you still be you? Should we insert chips into our children, so we can track where they are? Should we force violent criminals to have mood–controlling brain implants? Would you want technology to improve your memory… or help you forget? If you′ve ever wondered – or worried – about the pace at which technology is progressing, then this book will give you an eye–opening glimpse of the future in this fascinating field.
