The fifteen years from 2020 to 2035 could be the most turbulent of human history. Revolutions are gathering pace in four overlapping fields of technology: nanotech, biotech, infotech, and cognotech, or NBIC for short. In combination, these NBIC revolutions offer enormous new possibilities: enormous opportunities and enormous risks.Rapid technological change tends to provoke a turbulent social reaction. Old certainties fade. New winners arrive on the scene, flaunting their power, and upturning previous networks of relationships. Within the general public, a sense of alienation and disruption mingles with a sense of profound possibility. Due to the increased scale, speed, and global nature of the ongoing NBIC revolutions, the disruptions that followed in the wake of previous industrial revolutions - seismic though they were - are likely to be dwarfed in comparison to what lies ahead.Amidst these turbulent waves, RAFT 2035 offers a Roadmap to Abundance, Flourishing, and Transcendence. RAFT issues a bold call to action, to encourage more people around the world to recognise the true scale of the opportunities ahead, to set aside distractions, and to build effective coalitions in pursuit of a set of 15 goals to be achieved by 2035.Written by the Chair of London Futurists, David Wood, RAFT shows that futurism isn't just about describing futures that are likely or possible. It's also about highlighting futures that are highly desirable, and seeking to change the arc of human history in the light of that insight.The 15 goals of RAFT range from significantly improved mental wellbeing, a radical new social contract, transformations in education and politics, a sustainable relationship with the environment, reductions in the threat of violence and crime both locally and internationally, and a renewed focus on humanity's journey into new realms of both inner and outer space. For each goal, two interim targets for 2025 are identified, as important steps towards the radically better future that is within our grasp."It's often said that technology is poised to make humans stronger and more intelligent. But RAFT emphasises the possibility of a change that is much more important - the potential for technology to make us kinder and more empathetic. It's a message that deserves to be widely heard."- David Pearce, Philosopher, and advocate of Paradise Engineering"In RAFT, David Wood challenges all of us to reconsider how technology can best serve ethics, safety, and values that uplift the human spirit. A future that champions the very best aspects of what it means to be human is within our grasp, if we can humanise technology, and harmonize the interests of advanced civilization with nature."- Nell Watson, Chair of EthicsNet.org and IEEE's Certification for Ethics in Transparency"The need for a different set of politics is more pressing than ever. RAFT is a framework for the transition we need to make which is beyond the faultlines of traditional political positions."- Hannes Sjöblad, Co-founder DSruptive Sweden, and Chief Disruptive Officer of Epicenter Stockholm"I've often enjoyed listening to David Wood set out his hopes and fears for the future. In RAFT 2035 he applies his formidable insight to the very important question of securing a truly great future, for the United Kingdom and beyond, by 2035."- Matt O'Neill, Futurist Keynote Speaker, Futurist.Matt"RAFT 2035 maps out the possibilities and the trade-offs our exponential world is going to need. Continuing as before with tiny incremental steps is no longer an option: we need a RAFT of big ideas to make a step-change. Let's pick up these ideas and get on board for a brave new 2035."Paul Imre, VP of Education, Data Science Speakers Club, Toastmasters International

Transhumanisme adalah gerakan budaya dan intelektual yang menyarakan mengunakan teknologi untuk peningkatan batas biologi spesies-manusia. Dengan adanya perkembangan teknologi khususnya bioteknologi, nanoteknologi, kecerdasan buatan dan teknologi komunikasi transhumanisme percaya bahwa isu tentang kematian, penuaan , dan kesengsaraan akan dapat teratasi dengan cara penyatuan manusia dengan teknologi, dimana dalam visi transhumanisme untuk menuju pada “manusia akhir” yang unggul, dan mereka menyebutnya post-human, yang mana diprediksi akan memulai puncaknya pada tahun 2045. Transhumanisme muncul pada akhir abad ke-20 sebagai perluasan dari konsep humanisme pencerahan, dengan menawarkan pendekatan kosmos-historis untuk mengeksplorasi realitas alam semesta, pada akhirnya mempertanyakan kembali tentang eksitensi dan hakikat manusia, yang sering kali tidak lagi dipertanyakan pada ilmu pengetahuan modern. Dilain hal tersebut transhumanisme adalah ide-ide teknofilia, dan kosmopolitan yang semakin berkembang pada dekade ini. Perkembangan selanjutnya transhumanisme mulai berembiro menjadi sebuah gerakan formal dan politik mulai tahun 1990-an yang ditandainya munculnya berbagai lembaga advokasi, lembaga intelektual, dan Partai politik. Hal ini-pun terus menjamur di belahan dunia, dengan ide-ide futuristik dan benar-benar baru dalam spektrum ideologi, yang terbuka, universaliti, kosmopolitan dan teknofilia dan ini menjadi keunikan dari transhumanisme itu sendiri. Buku ini, akan mengeksplorasi tentang akar filosofi, bangunan pemikiran, arah politik dan perkembangan transhumanisme hingga saat ini dengan referensi terbaru, setidaknya sampai tahun 2022, hal ini karena karakter yang dibangun oleh transhumanisme sangat dinamis dan bukan dogmatis.

As the world is consumed by massive floods, one Texas family chooses to build their own survival raft in this climate disaster novel. Before the Big Flood, Liz Green worried more about getting in trouble at school than global climate change. She lives on the Texas Coastal Plain with her single mother, brilliant older brother, and awkward younger brother. But as the water keeps rising, her family—along with billions of people all over the world—are stuck between the rising seas and snarled escape routes. The military is overwhelmed and the wealthy are rushing to their secret ocean habitats. But a website called RaftPeople.com is helping ordinary people construct homemade crafts to float out of the disaster. Now Liz and her family must work together with their neighbors—a female special forces officer, and a retired naval engineer—to build their craft before their Houston suburb floods.

“The day every person on earth lost his and her memory was not a day at all. In people's minds there was no actual event. . . and thus it could be followed by no period of shock or mourning. There could be no catharsis. Everyone was simply reset to zero.” On Day Zero, the collapse of civilization was as instantaneous as it was inevitable. A mysterious and oppressive movement rose to power in the aftermath, forcing people into isolated communes run like regimes. Kayle Jenner finds himself trapped on a remote beach, and all that remains of his life before is the vague and haunting vision of his son. . . Kayle finally escapes, only to find a broken world being put back together in strange ways. As more memories from his past life begin returning, the people he meets wandering the face of a scorched earth—some reluctant allies, others dangerous enemies—begin to paint a terrifying picture. In his relentless search for his son, Kayle will discover more than just his lost past. He will discover the truth behind Day Zero—a truth that makes both fools and gods of men.
