New book: The Politics and Ethics of Transhumanism
“A uniquely rich and thoughtful account of one of the most destructive ideologies of our time. This is a book for anyone who wants a clearsighted view of the current political moment.”
Alice Crary,
University of Oxford
“At the edge of academic debates, an increasingly powerful position has developed: transhumanism. Thomas exposes its celebratory take on capitalism, data and technology, and its false solutions to contemporary dilemmas. A much-needed guide.”
Nick Couldry,
London School of Economics and Political Science
“This is a brilliant, timely, and important contribution to the growing literature on the philosophical flaws and potential dangers of the transhumanist ideology. A must-read for anyone interested in the future of humanity and how this future could go terribly wrong.”
Émile P. Torres
Case Western Reserve University
“Erudite and thorough – the most rational discussion of Transhumanism to date. No less than a seminal intervention in the field.”
Jonathan Hay,
University of Chester
“Thomas does a brilliant job of criticizing transhumanist thought by situating it within complexity and capitalism. This full-length book is incredibly well researched and a timely addition to the current discourse.”
Richard Lewis
