We now have the tools to transform ourselves and our species. Greater health and longevity, enhanced brains, and engineered fertility are in the works. What's just over the horizon is even more astonishing. We call this the neobiological frontier. Neo.Life: 25 Visions for the Future of Our Species is a collection of 25 essays, interviews, works of fiction, and art offering a big-picture perspective on the profound changes made possible by the merging of biology and technology. The book brings together today's smartest and most creative inventors, artists, and scientists to tell us their vision of the future.
