The last of the three; most transhumanists focus on the nanotechnology and AI
routes.

I recall reading in one interview that Snyder explained he would not be very
accessible to the press in coming months as he planned an extensive research
program. "Under his cap?" I wondered, musing about the first-mover advantage
so often discussed on this list.
