Fascinating and solidly grounded, filled with interviews with scientists, engineers, ethicists, and others actually doing the work in the fields discussed. Not only interesting as a look at some ways life may be different for future generations, but great as a source of plot elements or background details for science fiction writers. Highly recommended!

This book brings up the possibilities of the relationship between humans and technology. Conflict of emotion and logic, religion and evolution; sadly even in the last chapter all conflicts never really were settled by the author. Yet I guess it is the trouble of adding ethics to the subjects adds more problems/questions!
I am very interested in investigating the source material, for I felt (besides the interviews)a lot of the material was based on fiction and I still crave for my concrete or historical context.
