I'm just mind blown about all the information and how many people are being mentioned and talked about in this book, and I'm only just finishing the prologue!!This book is seriously worth the buy, and I can't wait to delve deeper into pages.Joel Garreau, you really made a solid book!!
Garreau sheds a definitive light on the subject of technology, and our current human endeavors that may not be known by the masses. Too often after college or grade school people separate themselves from academic reality, and even more so, especially in America, from reading in general. Some may say all of this is "fantasy" or science-fiction posited as constructive journalism, with those I have to dissent. This book gives credible references and attempts, by my interpretation, to draw forth a biased perspective. Those that naysay on the subject matter of this book are overlooking the fact that everything we as humans have created started off as a thought, and subsequent to that thought we achieved the fiscal support and intellectual minds to experiment, persevere and manifest that thought through trial and error into reality. I think by far, one of the most vivid elements of this book is how well it shows how close the gap of science-fiction and reality really is. The thing that elicits the most fear is the fact that these are the items of technology that are declassified or been around for a while; what about those that are classified? How far are we ahead in the realm of technology when it comes our inconspicuous technology?The book itself is a gem for the possibility of the future and current expeditions in technology, both theoretically and practically. All of this is presented in a very eloquent fashion that exemplifies Garreau's superb writing skills that can even appeal to the laymen. The level of detail that Garreau delves shows how well researched the book actually is. Within the first forty pages of the book there is a myriad of examples showing the foresight of the human population and its technology. This piece of literature is also a very good initial point to begin in reference to our technological endeavors, because it harnesses so much of it. With thirty-four pages of end notes and references, along with thirty-three pages of suggested reading, Garreau gives those that are interested in learning more about the subjects, and/or those interested in refuting his work, plenty of information to vet the information at hand.The only negatives I can bring are: Garreau over extends the need for "painting" the picture. There is a lot of excessive and unnecessary supplemental writing in the book, but in his defense, keeps it from being so dry; also, it lacks pictures, I would think that would be essential for investigative reporting.Some quotes that standout throughout the book that exhibit profundity on the subject at hand:Pg.42 "It is a snapshot of one small portion of one organization is working on in the first decade of the 21st century." - This is in reference to DARPA and their technological plans.Pg. 52 "...it's not clear that there are any practical limits represented by quantum physics, human ingenuity and the market...Whether our will can shape limits is the core issue..."Pg. 106 "In every civilization, in every era, we have given the gods no peace." - On human ingenuity and intellectIn the end this book caused me to revisit much more than my conception of technology. Our human culture is being transcended, by my opinion, by it and we need it to expand into the cosmos. Garrea's book caused me to think about a number of things and from this reading I have written thirteen pages of notes, so it definitely causes one to think. - D.R.Thomas
Just finished reading this book, and I must say that it is the perfect book for anyone who wants to read about cutting edge technology from the perspective of someone relatively unbiased. Unlike popular figures who promote or scorn the future of human science, Garreau explains the situation intelligently, using several examples from people with all different points of view. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a brush up on where technology is going, as well as anyone who might be interested in reconciling their current views with the other side. Everyone might not get the same things as me out of this, but thanks to Garreau's book, I'm beginning to come to terms with my place in where it looks like this world- and humanities role in it- might be going.
This book was written several years ago, but it's not dated. The concepts the author explores are still in development; following bleeding-edge technology news sites will show you that. He may be ahead of the curve a little bit in telling you about what kinds of impacts they might have in the future, but not all that much. It's important for us to look at and think about these possiblities now, so that we'll be prepared for them as they arrive.The book is well written and easily accessable. I bought a copy for my mother, so she could finally understand my fascination with GRN technologies and the coming social, political, and biological upheavals that will likely result from them.
The author presents a broad selection of other people's opinions on 'human enhancement' in a well-written, entertainng book. He does not perform a critical analysis of those opinions, just presents them for you to use to make up your own mind. Because the author doesn't really show strong opinions of his own, this book will likely not be as controversial or polarizing as the books of the people's opinions contained in the book.I enjoyed this book and it is a good overview, but I enjoyed more reading the original books and articles.
