THE PERFECT HUMAN — Digital version

THE PERFECT HUMAN — Digital Edition

What if humanity could design its own successor?

Artificial intelligence is already changing the way we work, communicate, create and understand the world. But what happens when AI moves beyond helping humans and begins influencing what a future human being could become?

In THE PERFECT HUMAN, Jacob Van Der Land explores the possibilities, promises and dangers of a future in which technology, genetics and artificial intelligence increasingly shape human evolution.

The book asks difficult questions. Can technology improve the human species without diminishing what makes us human? Who decides what “perfect” means? Could intelligence, health, longevity and ability one day be engineered rather than inherited? And if we gain the power to redesign ourselves, will wisdom keep pace with ambition?

Rather than presenting the future as either a technological paradise or a disaster waiting to happen, THE PERFECT HUMAN invites readers to think carefully about the choices humanity may soon face.

This is a book about more than AI. It is about evolution, responsibility, human nature and the possibility that the greatest legacy of artificial intelligence may be the changes it helps bring about in us.

The ultimate AI legacy may not be a machine. It may be a new kind of human.
