Developing directly from Fuller's recent book Humanity 2.0, this is the first book to seriously considerwhat a 'post-' or 'trans'-' human state of being might mean for who we think we are, how we live, what we believe and what we aim to be.
'Fuller is the closest thing to a Foucault writing today in the English language.' - Metascience
