This book contains fascinating vignettes depicting future societies and the implications which increasing technological change has on society and the environment.
The topics discussed include nanotechnology, medicine, computational science, biotechnology, synthetic biology, and cognitive technology, among others in science.
In addition, social norms, attitudes, and policy are also featured.
The upshot of this combination is an entertaining, educational, and thought-provoking volume. The glimpses into future societies subsequent to the introduction and incorporation of various emerging technologies depict scenarios of how we view ourselves, how we view others, how we are viewed by others, how our surroundings are viewed, how our leaders and political structures are viewed, what our social and behavioral norms are, what our temperament/mood is, and so forth.
The introduction features a focused discourse on current trends of the impacts of emerging technologies and the conclusion highlights where society should go from here.
