Radical Evolution
Joel Garreau’s book Radical Evolution (2005) may be one of the best introductions for educators and their students to the future and the key changes we will face . Its focus is on one of the key themes of the future, the enhancement of human capabilities. This theme maintains that the next step in human evolution will not come about through natural biological processes, but through the intentional development of augmentations and enhancements that will produce a new human being. The GRIN technologies (genetics, robotics, information technology and nanotechnology) are the key players in this process.
Written by a journalist, Radical Evolution is an engaging, informative, and provocative view of the future. It should work well in any discussion oriented educational environment.
