Views: 806
"One of the reason that the authorities tend to be anxious about the future is that things are, in a sense, getting out of control," says Jay Cornell, co-author of the new book The Disinformation Encyclopedia of Transhumanism and the Singularity.

Reason TV interviewed Cornell and co-author R.U. Sirius, who both worked as editors of the transhumanist/futurist magazine h+. They discussed the future of of biohacking, body modification, and the effects that decentralizing technologies such as 3-D printing will have on the future of scientific innovation in America.

Approximately 7 minutes. Interview by Zach Weissmueller. Camera by Justin Monticello. Music by Lee Rosevere and Psilopat.
