Brian Bergstein Jane Metcalfe

25 Visions for the Future of Our Species

We 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, and 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, thinkers, and scientists to tell us their vision of the future.

Neo.Life: 25 Visions for the Future of Our Species covers these powerful new biotechnologies and ideas in non-technical language, with beautiful full-color images and a fresh design by National Design Award winner Jennifer Morla.

Jane Metcalfe is the co-founder of Wired magazine. After selling the company to Condé Nast and Lycos, she served as president of TCHO Chocolate which got her thinking about the effects of theobromine on the brain and heart, sacred plants, nutraceuticals, organic farming, food systems, etc. Jane is the founder and CEO of NEO.LIFE.
