Zoltan Istvan documentary on Kashmir (featuring similar scenes to novel The Transhumanist Wager) is picked up by The Age TV

I have some good news and bad news: First the good news: My refugee/war documentary Pawns of Paradise: Inside the Brutal Kashmir Conflict, distributed by Janson Media, was recently licensed to The Age Tv in Australia. (The documentary's personal website is: www.pawnsofparadise.com). For readers of "The Transhumanist Wager", some of the Kashmir scenes in the documentary closely mirror the scenes in the novel. Now for the bad news: I think the documentary cannot be seen in the US, due to licensing restrictions. :( Maybe you'll have more luck than I did. Please tell me if you do: http://www.theage.com.au/tv/documenta...

Essay from IEET: The Spiritual Side of Novel "The Transhumanist Wager"

IEET has run this excellent article from futurist Giulio Prisco on the character of Zoe Bach in my novel The Transhumanist Wager. I especially appreciate this essay as it concentrates on the spirituality put forth in the novel, and not just the aggressive philosophy.
