Reviews
“The central aim of this volume is to interrogate social visions that desire to overcome the limitations of human finitude through technological advancement. … this volume is a valuable resource for specialists and general readers to explore the stakes of imagined technological futures as a source of social, technological, and human transformation and is effective in stimulating further reading on the topic. I would not hesitate in recommending Perfecting Human Futures to my colleagues … .” (Michael G. Sherbert, Nanoethics, Vol. 10, 2016)
