Future Imperfect describes and discusses a variety of technological
revolutions that might happen over the next few decades, their
implications and how to deal with them. Topics range from
encryption and surveillance through biotechnology and
nanotechnology to life extension, mind drugs, virtual reality and
artificial intelligence. One theme of the book is that the future
is radically uncertain. Technological changes already begun could
lead to more or less privacy than we have ever known, freedom or
slavery, effective immortality or the elimination of our species,
and radical changes in life, marriage, law, medicine, work and
play. We do not know which future will arrive, but it is unlikely
to be much like the past. It is worth starting to think about it
now.
