Twenty First Century Overman; eugenics and genetic engineering.
Twenty First Century Overman is available in Kindle and Paperback from Amazon.com (from link on the left)
This book unlike
most on the subject takes a fresh and generally positive look at eugenics. It
discusses the potential of eugenics for human species improvement; especially
when combined with the ever advancing applied science of genetic engineering.
The author inspired by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s visions of an
Overman discusses the realistic possibility of creating a 21st century version
of the Übermensch by the utilization of modern eugenics and genetic
engineering. This book is at times blunt and controversial while at the same
time thought provoking. It paints a picture of an interesting future when
today's humans will be relegated to the same level of importance by the Overman
that we consider apes today.
For those people unsure about the meaning of eugenics and wishing to get a good
understanding of this much misunderstood scientific philosophy and its present
day applications then this book is for you. The author writes in a very non
politically correct and entertaining way. Love it or hate it when finished the
reader will not forget this book.
