Publisher's Synopsis
The authorâs 1988 novel, Transformations, told the story of a young geneticist who wanted to root out and replace the human speciesâ more unsavory character traits. But he found himself part of an experiment by advance beings who revealed the real inner-workings of human evolution as self-transcendence. Twenty-five years later, after the themes of transhumanism, its peril and its hope, have been bandied about by authors of every stripe, Nelson revisits these themes in I, Human. Set in the âBrave New Worldâ of the late 21st century, most everyone has neural implants that have raised average I.Q.s to 200 plus and monitor oneâs activities. The downside is they suppress feelings and intuition and are causing massive emotional breakdowns among the techno elites.
