Beyond the fear and chaos of contemporary life, there is good news to share. A new era is at hand: the era of sustainable superabundance. In this era, the positive potential of humanity can develop in truly profound ways. The key to this new era is to take wise advantage of the remarkable capabilities of twenty-first century science and technology: robotics, biotech, neurotech, greentech, collabtech, artificial intelligence, and much more. These technologies can provide all of us with the means to live better than well - to be healthier and fitter than ever before; nourished emotionally and spiritually as well as physically; and living at peace with ourselves, the environment, and our neighbours both near and far. This is not a vision of today's society writ large - a mere abundance of today's goods, services, activities, relationships, and rewards. It's a vision of a superabundance, with new qualities rather than just new quantities. This is not a vision of returning to some imagined prior historical period - to some supposed bygone golden age. It's a vision of advancing to a new society, featuring levels of human flourishing never before possible. This is not a vision restricted to the few - to an elite percentage of today's humanity. It's a universal vision, for everyone, of a wide, diverse fellowship in which all can freely participate, and in which all can enjoy unprecedented benefits. This is not a vision of the far-off future - something relevant, perhaps, to our great-grandchildren. It's a vision of change that could accelerate dramatically throughout the 2020s - a vision that is intensely relevant as the year 2020 comes into view. This is not a vision of a fixed, rigid utopia. It's a vision of the collaborative creation of a sustainable, open-ended, evolving social framework. In this new framework, every one of us will be empowered to make and follow our own choices without fear or favour. In this vision, the sky will no longer be the limit. In this vision, the cosmos beckons, with its vast resources and endless possibilities. In this vision, our destiny lies in the ongoing exploration and development of both outer and inner space, as we keep reaching forwards together to higher levels of consciousness and to experiences with ever greater significance. But first, we face some hard, critical choices - choices that will determine our future. If we choose poorly, technology will do much more harm than good. If we choose poorly, a bleak future awaits us - wretched environmental decline, bitter social divisions, and a rapid descent into a dismal new dark age. Instead of the flourishing of the better angels of our human nature, it will be our inner demons that technology magnifies. This book - this Universal Transhumanist Invitation - explains the choices. "Sustainable Superabundance offers a profoundly uplifting vision for the 2020s and beyond" - Natasha Vita-More, Executive Director, Humanity+ "David Wood is one of the best futurists around today, insightful and visionary, with a broad grasp of the issues, and passionate commitment to making the future a good place to live. This book will become a key resource for the development of practical technoprogressive policies" - James Hughes, Executive Director, Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET) "A welcome addition to the debate over how society should respond to the forthcoming Economic Singularity" - Calum Chace, Author of Artificial Intelligence and the Two Singularities "Want to feel better about our future, find out why 'sustainable superabundance' is possible, and how we can make it happen? Read this book!" - Nikola Danaylov, Founder of Singularity Weblog and Singularity.FM

Politics is broken. Technology risks making matters worse. But transhumanism can fix it. Comprehensively. Via the profound application of technology that uplifts the best qualities of humanity, enabling unprecedented health, intelligence, wellbeing, democracy, and liberty. With no-one left behind. These are the core claims in the book "Transcending Politics" by David Wood, former smartphone industry executive, who is now chair of London Futurists and executive director of Transpolitica. Selected feedback on "Transcending Politics": "From homo economicus to transhumanism and the abolition of aging. From knocking on doors every five years to liquid democracy and citizens' assemblies. From nations competing in global markets to transnational networks sharing artificial intelligence and energy sources. It's all there - and with heart." - Indra Adnan, Co-initiator, The Alternative UK "We live in amazing times where tools to analyze and fix our problems are now available. Why not apply them to politics? In this fascinating and informative book, David Wood takes us on a tour of the near future. He explores what's happening, why and how we can harness the promise of technology to move beyond red team/blue team bickering to a place where government decisions have transparency and effect." - Toby Unwin, Chief Innovation Officer, Premonition LLC "Politics plays a significant role in the possibility of our future survival and flourishing. But politics today is largely broken. In response, Wood urges us to embrace transhumanism - to use technology to overcome the limitations of brains formed in the Pleistocene. For without greater intelligence, emotional well-being, and better political institutions, we are doomed. This carefully and conscientiously crafted work defends this thesis with vigour, and it is a welcome relief from the ubiquitous nonsense that passes for political dialogue today. Let us hope that it informs that dialogue and fuels action." - John G Messerly, Author of "Reason and Meaning," one of "Top 100 Philosophy Blogs on the Planet" "Most transhumanism advocates wish to 'transcend' politics in the sense of replacing it - that is, when they're not trying to avoid it altogether. Their utopian visions may be clear but they haven't a clue about how to achieve them. David Wood is relatively unique in addressing this matter head on. A particularly refreshing feature of his approach is that he is willing to accept people as they are before attempting to foist a radical future on them. Wood combines the right balance of enthusiasm and sobriety to take forward a truly 'technoprogressive' vision for transhumanism." - Prof Steve Fuller, Auguste Comte Chair in Social Epistemology, University of Warwick "For anyone interested in whatever comes next for a truly technoprogressive society, David Wood lays out in clear, accessible language not only the case for why the politics of the future must be transformed, but also the way in which we might want to go about it. The topics he covers represent some of the most important conversations we need to be having as a society, today, here and now, before it's too late." - Gareth John, Independent Researcher, Aberystwyth "David Wood's scenarios for the future are so engaging that Transcending Politics will become a must-read for anyone engaged in politics or interested in the future of humanity. Readers will be captivated by the author's description of potential impact of exponential growth of technology on human progress, and the changes needed in the relationships between the governed and the governing if we are to mitigate successfully the plethora of existential risks facing humanity." - Tony Czarnecki, Managing Partner, Sustensis

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

"Masterfully assists you with thoroughly thinking through all that is of vital importance to make today and tomorrow much better for all of us. A must-have companion for any serious change-agent, futurist, transhumanist, singularitarian, and humanitarian" - Philippe van Nedervelde, veteran serial NBIC tech-entrepreneur "David Wood is one of the best informed and most thoughtful people writing about the likely future impact of the exponential growth in the power of our most advanced technologies" - Calum Chace, author of Surviving AI Accelerating technological change threatens to shatter the human condition in multiple ways. We - all of us - face profound questions over the management of artificial intelligence, nanoscale computers, bio-engineering, cognitive enhancements, ubiquitous robots, drone swarms, nuclear power, planet-scale geo-engineering, and much more. What these technologies enable is, potentially, a world of extraordinary creativity, unprecedented freedom, and abundant wellbeing. That's provided we can see clearly enough, in advance, the major disruptive opportunities we will need to seize and steer, so we can reach that destination. And provided we can step nimbly through a swath of treacherous landmines along the way. That's no small undertaking. It will take all our wisdom and strength. It's going to require the very highest calibre of foresight. Happily, assistance is at hand. What this book demonstrates is that vital foresight from the field of active transhumanism can help us all: To resist unwarranted tech hype, whilst remaining aware that credible projections of today's science and engineering could enable sweeping improvements in the human condition To distinguish future scenarios with only superficial attractions from those with lasting, sustainable benefits To move beyond the inaction of future shock, so we can coalesce around practical initiatives that advance deeply positive outcomes.
