Preview Anticipation n°1: Will science modify the human species?

Description:
With its format based on a long-term journalistic investigation and complete transcripts of interviews, the Anticipation magazine-book immerses you in the world of tomorrow to better understand current issues. For this first survey, Marcus Dupont-Besnard and Jeanne L'Hévéder explored transhumanism. In full expansion, this philosophy aims to create an augmented, smarter, stronger humanity, free from suffering and death. If this project appeals to all our fantasies, ethical and sociopolitical problems arise. This survey reveals the thought of transhumanists themselves, like Natasha Vita-More, pioneer of the movement, while putting on the table the criticisms of scientists and writers who oppose it: the science fiction author Alain Damasio, the essayist Natacha Polony, psychoanalyst Cristina Lindenmeyer... Is this a scientifically credible scenario? If so, what would an augmented humanity look like? Is this a desirable or dangerous future? Towards what political model are science and technology leading us? Some answers in this issue of Anticipation.
