I'm featured in Sweden's #1 ranked news site today, Aftodbladet, in a story about Deus Ex. http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet... And pasted below is the article translated in English by Google:
"The vision of the future is already reality
Transhumanists will soon catch up with Deus Ex"
Last week, we got to see the first pictures from "Deus ex: Mankind divided". It'll be one of the coming years most talked about games. The only question is how long it can be called science fiction.
In 20 years, we no longer die. It is not me who says it, but the American presidential candidate Zoltan Istvan.
Istvan would surely have a thing or two to say about that game series "Deus ex" is still considered to belong to science fiction and cyberpunk.Transhumanism – that, with the help of technology extend human physical and mental abilities – has been a central theme in "Deus ex" games ever since its debut 15 years ago. In "Deus ex: Human revolution" from 2011, people to special clinics to be implanted under the skin. They connect their brains against the internet. Then I called the "Google inside pannbenet".
Now – when "Deus ex"-sequel "Mankind divided" is in the works – Google has already revealed that they are developing a pill that will send health data directly from people's bloodstream. The Futurist Ray Kurzweil has been endowed with a fine Chief title. It's the same Kurzweil who – like Zoltan Istvan – claims that immortality is only a few decades away.
And the remarkable thing is not their claims, but that we increasingly stopped dismissing them. Transhumanists used to House at sites that looked to have been designed at the time, now they Altavistass how off their biohackade bodies in today's News. In an article from February this year tells the Manager Hannes Sjöblad having a glass cylinder with a computer chip implanted between your thumb and forefinger. The chip has replaced both the PIN and the card; He can even book the laundry room with the. As campaigning transhumanist organizes Sjöblad so-called "implant" to convince the party's curious about the benefits of "chippa" itself.
Zoltan Istvan, for its part, knows very well that his transhumanist party – whose top concrete policy objective is to prevent the body's ageing – is not going to win the presidential election 2016. But healso knows that his articles in Psychology Today, Huffington Post and San Francisco Chronicle gives him credibility and large audience. He also knows that the transhumanisten Giuseppe Vatinno was elected as Congressman in Italy a couple of years ago. He knowsthat the transhumanist network Singularity increased from 400 members to 10 000 – in three years.
It continues at this rate, the ideas of "Deus ex: Mankind divided" feel old already before the game had to be released.
