Reviews
'One of the most entertaining, fascinating, and thought-provoking books I've read in a long time! Future Superhuman provides a breathtakingly original, broad and optimistic view of a transhuman future. Elise Bohan's fresh and unique voice comes through on every page: bold, fearless, fun and relentless on the absurdities of the human condition. She could well be the next big non-fiction star, at home in the same constellation as Yuval Noah Harari, Carl Sagan or Elizabeth Kolbert.' --Rob Brooks, Scientia Professor of Evolution, UNSW, author of Artificial Intimacy, 'There's much doom and gloom about humanity's future, understandably so at a time of climate change and large-scale environmental collapse. But there's another side to what's coming, and it won't all be bad. Elise Bohan is your travel guide to the future of human minds and bodies. Enjoy the trip - your guide is as sharp, savvy, lively and entertaining as you could ever want.' --Russell Blackford, author of At the Dawn of a Great Transition: The Question of Radical Enhancement

Synopsis
We''re hurtling towards a superhuman future - or, if we blunder, extinction. The only way out of our existential crises, from global warming to the risks posed by nuclear weapons, novel and bioengineered pathogens and unaligned AI, is up . We''ll need more technology to safeguard our future - and we''re going to invent and perhaps even merge with some of that technology. What does that mean for our 20th century life-scripts? Are the robots coming for our jobs? How will human relationships change when AI knows us inside out? Will we still be having human babies by the century''s end? Elise Bohan unflinchingly explores possibilities most of us are afraid to imagine: the impacts of automation on our jobs, livelihoods and dating and mating careers, the stretching out of ''the-circle-of-life'', the rise of AI friends and lovers, the liberation of women from pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, and the impending global baby-bust - and attendant proliferation of digital minds. Strap in for an exhilarating, and starkly honest, take on the promise and peril of life in the 21st century. ''There''s much doom and gloom about humanity''s future, understandably so at a time of climate change and large-scale environmental collapse. But there''s another side to what''s coming, and it won''t all be bad. Elise Bohan is your travel guide to the future of human minds and bodies.

After reading her excellent and well-researched book, I''m inclined to agree with her.'' -- Tim Dunlop, author of The Future of Everything ''This book is an intellectual tour de force that cajoles us to take the blinkers off and confront the new era we have entered into - a time of "escalating promise and peril". Elise Bohan''s clear-eyed view of the future can help us navigate a path forward, by showing us how to harness the extraordinary capabilities of our species rather than allowing them to destroy us. This is a most timely, enlightening and important work. It''s also a whole lot of fun to read.'' -- Mark Roeder, author of What We Do Next Really Matters ''A fun, frightening and fruitful look at our future. This is the book I want to give to friends who ask, "but what is transhumanism, really?"'' -- Anders Sandberg, Senior Research Fellow, Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford ''In Future Superhuman , Elise Bohan asks challenging but important questions. Is transhumanism the best future for humanity? How best should we ride technological waves like AI, not just to survive but to thrive?'' -- Toby Walsh, Laureate Fellow & Scientia Professor of AI at UNSW, author of 2062: The world that AI made ''A fascinating, thought-provoking read.'' -- Clare Rhoden, Aurealis Magazine, We're hurtling towards a superhuman future - or, if we blunder, extinction.
