The World in 2030

But even as machines (made partly of plastic) are developed
to become a new form of life by human efforts, we humans
will be changing ourselves into a more capable, more durable
and longer-lived species (as I discuss in my later section
on ‘Human Health and Longevity’).
What will happen after ‘The Singularity’? As I mentioned
above, post-singularity events cannot be predicted or even
imagined with any degree of certainty by the unaided human
minds of the early 21 st century. But I have long been of the
opinion that human evolutionary destiny is to merge human
biology with machine intelligence to create a successor
species, a semi-plastic species which, freed of biological
time constraints, will be free to leave this planet and begin
to colonise the universe with a form of intelligence that,
because of our lack of language for the future, can only be
described as post-human.
