"I've never been able to work up a fear of the robot apocalypse,"
admits R.U. Sirius, [io9.com] who more than 20 years after Mondo 2000's original guide to geek culture has again collaborated on
a new encyclopedia of emerging technologies [tinyurl.com]. As we progress to a world where technology actually becomes invisible, he argues that "everything about how we will define the future
is still in play, [disinfo.com]" suggesting that the transhumanist movement is "a good way to take isolated radical tech developments and bundle them together". While his co-author argues transhumanists "like to solve everything," Sirius points out a much bigger concern is a future of technologies dominated by the government or big capital.
