Citizen Cyborg: Why Democratic Societies Must Respond to the Redesigned Human of the Future.
Citizen Cyborg: Why Democratic Societies Must Respond to the Redesigned Human of the Future
by James Hughes. Westview Press. 2004. 320 pages. $26.95.
Medical ethicist Hughes argues that technologies pushing the boundaries of humanness can radically improve our quality of life if they are controlled democratically. He foresees an era of extended life spans, enhanced cognition, and greater control over emotion and memory through technologies breaking ground today. Topics include posthumanism, transhumanism, liberty, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and "a sexy, high-tech vision for a radically democratic future."
