In the future, how many identities will you have? How many do you
want? Digital technology is causing us to think differently about
who we are and who we could become, but with the right knowledge we
can turn this incredible capacity to our advantage. 'Who am I?' is
one of the most fundamental questions of all. But it is becoming
increasingly difficult to answer as technology enables us to
negotiate and create many different versions of ourselves. In our
digital, data-driven world, Facebook gets a say in verifying who we
are, science can alter our biology, and advances in AI are
revolutionizing not only how we interact online but with the
physical world around us. Understanding and defining ourselves is
becoming confusing but, as this fascinating book argues, it is
possible to embrace this new era of transformation while preserving
our autonomy. In The Future of You, Professional futurist Tracey
Follows shows how our personal freedoms and potential will be
transformed over the coming decades. From health passports,
bio-hacking and relationships with machines to mind clones, digital
voting and virtual legacies beyond the grave, we need to understand
these vital issues today so that we might design the future of our
identity tomorrow. 'This fascinating book explores the way that
emerging technologies such as AI might affect the nature of
personal identity and personhood. It paints an intriguing,
thought-provoking, and occasionally disturbing picture.' Michael
Wooldridge, author of The Road to Conscious
