Is the future cancelled?
That's the provocative question headlining the latest issue of h+ magazine, available now at your virtual newsstand. If you'll turn to page 55, you'll find an article by yours truly, titled "Nanotechnology, for Better or for Worse."
Here is a description of what you can expect in future issues:
h+ covers technological, scientific, and cultural trends that are changing — and will change — human beings in fundamental ways. We will be following developments in areas like NBIC (nano-bio-info-cog), longevity, performance enhancement and self-modification, Virtual Reality, "The Singularity," and other areas that both promise and threaten to radically alter our lives and our view of the world and ourselves.
More than that, h+ aims to reflect this newest edge culture by featuring creative expressions of humanity on a razor's edge where daily life and science fiction seem to be merging.
Good reading!
Thank you for the tip about H+ Magazine. I read your article on the positive and negative potential of advanced nanotechnology. I am an optimist and I believe we will see mostly positive results. We are fortunate at this time to have a very intelligent and open minded president. We are in desperate times and in a worst case scenario we might be heading for a prolonged global depression. Necessity is the mother of invention. I see molecular manufacturing as a way out and maybe the only way out. I believe if President Obama is informed of the potential benefits of molecular manufacturing, he will invest heavily in it and maybe that investment will amount to a Manhattan Project to insure its development.
