Subject: Introducing: THE TRANSHUMANIST
> Over the past few years, I have been daydreaming about starting a journal
> of ideas, such as 'Exquisite Corpse' or 'The Objectivist', a journal that
> focuses on the art and craft of the essay. I hear so many wonderful ideas
> expressed by you folks that never seem to make it to print. Well, it is
> time to make the daydream a reality!
>
> Please join me in inaugurating THE TRANSHUMANIST, a periodic journal of
> ideas for the transhumanist community and general readers alike. It will
> be disseminated in the form of an electronic newsletter, and can be easily
> downloaded for distribution in print form. Frequency of issues may be
> monthly, depending on submission rates. This journal will reach core
> transhumanists, as well those who have developed some interest in
> transhumanist topics but who are reluctant to subscribe to the listserves.
>
> Each issue of THE TRANSHUMANIST will be a short collection of essays, each
> of 4-20 paragraphs, that might:
> 1. relate transhumanist thought to a topic of current interest (such as
> the cloning of Dolly or the completion of the fruit fly genome)
> 2. comment on a current topic within the transhumanist networks, such as
a
> recent paper in 'The Journal of Transhumanism' or summarize a hot debate
on
> one of the lists
> 3. express a personal reflection on how transhumanism relates to your own
> life or work
> 4. introduce a new idea as a starting point for discussion
> 5. review a new book
> 6. anything else I haven't thought of above--queries are welcome!
>
> Standard disclaimer: The editor (at this point, me!) reserves discretion
> over the material printed within THE TRANSHUMANIST, as well as the right
to

> FIRST ISSUE DATE: projected for the end of August/beginning of September

> TO SUBSCRIBE: send me an email!

> So, dig through those hard drives and the dusty corners of your brain
where
> the interesting ideas always seem to land. If you have an idea and need
> help with editing, please don't hesitate to ask.

> Looking forward to hearing from everyone,
