The book has been a protean affair since its inception. However, my
primary objectives in writing the book is to provide a treatise on
transhumanist thinking, the technologies that breathe fire into some
of the futures we envision, and the thought processes behind "thinking
transhuman". I've gone to great pains to ensure that there is some
sense of balance and objectivity in the tone of the book. Most of the
books that deal with transhumanist ideals are extremely one-sided in
their coverage or just written poorly. Paul and Cox's book comes to mind
as a perfect example of what my book is not.
