Book Reviews of Year Million: Science at the Far Edge of Knowledge
Book Review: A must
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is simply the best existing summary of current, cutting-edge hypotheses, projections and estrapolations concerning our distant future, having regard both to posthuman changes and to a more cosmological scale.
The subject is attacked from very different angles by a diverse set of contributors who mix vision, technicalities, and - why not? - a poetic sense of what our presence and possible long-term survival in this universe may imply.
A fascinating scenario indeed, and a transhumanist challenge to old biases...
