Advance praise for RADICAL EVOLUTION <br> An eye-opening exploration of how cutting-edge 21st-century technologies, in embryonic form right now, pose the stark alternatives of a real life Utopia or Brave New World,. . Garreau has an eye for the anecdote that throws much of this Buck Rogers technology into compelling human terms... Excellent scientific journalism on the challenges arising from a real tipping point in human relations. - Kirkus (Starred Review) <br> How weird, how soon? That's the question that dominates the debates about the coming of 'post-humanity.' With his customary journalistic acumen and wry humor, Garreau has the answer: much weirder than you imagine, much sooner than you expect. -- Stewart Brand, author of The Clock of the Long Now: Time and Responsibility and The Media Lab: Inventing the Future at M.I.T. <br> Joel Garreau lives well ahead of the curve -- even the really big Curve he describes in these pages. One of our foremost chroniclers of change and historians of the future, he's done it again. -- Bill McKibben, author of Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age and The End of Nature <br> Joel Garreau has hit upon something critical here, something most of us see daily and struggle to make sense of: That human technology may be advancing faster than our ability to adapt, leaving us ill-equipped to measure and manage the consequences. This is a timely, important book, and a fascinating read. -- Nathan McCall, author of Makes Me Wanna Holler: A Young Black Man in America <br> <br> It isn't often an author gets to herald the biggest news in the last 10,000 years. But you'll get the full, uncensored, mind-blowing report here in thisentertaining and surprisingly deep book. - Kevin Kelly, author of Out of Control and Wired editor-at-large <br> Radical Evolution is truly outstanding. I was hooked. It reads like a thriller, informs like a textbook, engages like a love note. Garreau is, truly, an artist. - Eamonn Kelly, co-author, What's Next: Exploring the New Terrain for Business<br> <p> From the Hardcover edition.
