Mark O'Connell's book on the "transhumanist movement" came out yesterday. It's really the first widely reviewed book by a prominent writer that specifically covers modern transhumanism. While it's done from a non-transhumanist perspective, it's great reading and a BIG step forward for transhumanism and life extension (we need books about the movement that target laypeople). The last chapter is dedicated to the Immortality Bus and my presidential campaign. Additionally, many transhumanists and their work are covered in this comprehensive book. Grab a copy! https://www.amazon.com/Be-Machine-Adv...

Slate book columnist Mark O'Connell's new book To Be a Machine, which is specifically about #transhumanism, is out tomorrow. So there's a ton of reviews out in major media. The last chapter in the book is about my work. Here are 3 reviews just out on the book. ALSO, I highly encourage you to BUY the book to help transhumanism grow. Mark's book is the first book specifically on the movement with this kind of international attention, and the better the book does the first week, the more people will know about transhumanism: http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/25/147... &

The Los Angeles Times covered my #libertarian campaign for CA governor. I do still support a libertarian version of a basic income due to coming automation--and the fact it will swallow welfare and other government programs, essentially reducing the size of government while distributing money to all residents. http://www.latimes.com/politics/essen... #future
