| 內容簡介 | 人與機器之間的界線、科技與自然之間的界線正變得越來越模糊，並且有可能在未來的某個時候徹底消失。資訊科技、遺傳工程和奈米技術不只在社會中帶來可觀的影響，也越來越直接影響人類。智人能夠有意識地設計並徹底改變自己的日子已經不遠了。影響深遠的人類優化過程，同時使用現存與未來的科技方法，似乎是人類為了使自己更接近完美，所會採取的下一步合理做法。
The boundaries between man and machine, between technology and nature, are becoming increasingly blurred and might even disappear completely in the future. Information technology, genetic engineering and nanotechnology are not only making considerable inroads into society, but also more and more directly into human nature. The day when Homo sapiens is able to consciously design and radically change himself is not far away. A far-reaching optimisation of the human race using both existing and future technology seems to be the next logical step that mankind will take to bring himself closer to perfection.<摘錄自媒體封面或內頁> |
