New on Transhumanity: Review – John Brockman (Ed.) The Next Fifty Years: Science in the
First Half of the Twenty-First Century, by George Dvorsky, September 21, 2002.
Transhumanists tend to have rather grand expectations for scientific and technological
developments over the next 50 years. In fact, it is this resultant urgency that gives the
movement its rasion d’etre. Thus it was with some anticipation that I picked up John
Brockman’s new anthology, The Next Fifty Years: Science in the First Half of the Twenty-
First Century. I was curious to see how the conclusions of ’25 of the world’s leading
scientists’ would compare to those of transhumanists. My interest increased after reading
the table of contents as there were a number of essay titles that were immediately
applicable to transhumanism [the table of contents are listed at the end of this
review]...http://transhumanism.com/2002/dvorsky0201.shtml
