The format is one which provides quickly learned and well structured lessons for the consumers. "The Complete Story… of the British racing and after-market body manufactures", not that this is ALL the story. The book arrived as promised and it was in spectacular condition!! I can't say enough wonderful things about this purchase!. Hughes mostly focused on the political and social implications rather than on the technical aspects of the different transhuman related technologies:"Rather than focus on some timeline for all of these technological wonders, a timeline that would out of date by the time you read these words, i want instead to focus on the constants, the things unlikely to change in the coming century: the human needs and desires these technologies will be asked to serve.", p.7.____________________________STRENGTHSFirst of all, the book is very easy and pleasant to read.

Hughes challenges both the technophobia of Leon Kass and Francis Fukuyama and the unchecked enthusiasm of others for limitless human enhancement. By allowing humans to become more than human - "posthuman" or "transhuman" - the new technologies will require new answers for the enduring From the Back Cover "A challenging and provocative look at the intersection of human self-modification and political governance. James Hughes's passionate and skilled advocacy forces us to confront the kind of society we want for ourselves and our children." (Wesley J. Citizen Cyborg is an important contribution to the rapidly moving debate on human enhancement." (Joel Garreau, author of While God Wasn't Watching: The Future of Human Nature) "A fascinating tour of the coming intersection of politics, nanotechnology, and biology, by the leading champion of Transhumanism.
