“sex robots and vegan meat” will sit on the shelf for my favourite non-fiction books. i often complain about non-fiction books that are 200 pages too long. well, this one is a happy exception.
jenny kleeman provided detailed reporting on several major innovative promises in the key areas of a human’s life: birth, food, sex, and death. if all of these promises get fulfiled, the future will be quite a ride – birth via external womb and diy 3d printed suicide capsules being the starkest examples.
most importantly, author examines these trends from the women-centric point of view, which is still a rarity in tech reporting of any kind.
if you read the verge or ars technica, try this book for a fresh perspective.
