Anotace knihy

This book addresses each of the key public policy issues of our techno-future from the perspective of deeply informed and philosophically inclined public intellectuals. Among the issues addressed are the detachment of our idea of justice from any credible foundation, Tocqueville's prescience on how a "cognitive elite" might be the aristocracy most to be feared in our time, robotization and the possibility of being ruled by morally challenged robots, organ markets, the degradation of liberal education by obsessive techno-enthusiasm, biotechnology and biological determinism the birth dearth and the inevitable erosion of our entitlements, the possibility that our techno-domination is basically an unfolding of the Lockean logic of our foundation, and the future of the free exercise of religion in an aggressively libertarian time. All in all, this book should provoke widespread discussion about the relationship between scientific/technological progress and the one true moral/spiritual progress that takes place over the course of every particular human life.
