RAMEZ NAAM
Tuesday, March 15 at 7:30 p.m.

A veteran of local high tech developments—he was involved in the making of both Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Outlook—Ramez Naam is here tonight with More Than Human: Embracing the Promise of Biological Enhancement (Broadway), a provocative book on being human—and what might happen, biologically, with technology. "Sixty years ago, human beings gave digital computers the ability to modify their own coded instructions—sparking a revolution that has now given us the ability to modify our own coded instructions, promising revolutions even more extreme. Whether for, or against, or undecided about genetic modification of human beings, you should read this book—a bold, compelling look at what lies ahead." - George Dyson. "More Than Human is excellent – passionate yet balanced, clearly written and rich with fascinating details. A wonderful overview of a topic that will dominate the twenty-first century." - Greg Bear.
