The New Atlantis, simply one of the best journals out there, is now hosting a new blog called Futurisms which features the writing of Charles Rubin, Ari Schulman, and Adam Keiper. It’s quite a blog that manages to cover a wide spectrum of topics from nanotechnology and nanoethics to artificial intelligence and the Singularity project. The discussions are consistently clear, provocative, and philosophically engaging and touch upon the paradoxical but pressing subject of the future of human nature itself given the increasing will and technology to subject it to manipulation over time. Anyone interested in the subject and ones like it should make this blog and the New Atlantis itself a regular stop for internet reading.
