This book delivers a richly diverse range of well-informed and often contrasting perspectives about the ways artificial intelligence and human enhancements dramatically challenge perceptions of human ethics and spirituality. It explores the disputed benefits, challenges, threats and concerns raised by the rapid emergence and application of cybernetics, transhumanism and artificial intelligence. The reader is left with many probing and unexpected questions yet plenty of insights to formulate possible responses. A captivating read.
