"Believing as I do that man in the distant future will be a far more perfect creature than he now is, it is an intolerable thought that he and all other sentient beings are doomed to complete annihilation after such long-continued slow progress."
Charles Darwin

Envisioning the Future Program
Victor Frankenstein lamented in 1816 "how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow" Today, the most common objections to human enhancement technologies come from science fiction, from Frankenstein to Brave New World. At the same time there is a long and broad tradition in literature and film that depicts human enhancement positively, set in societies filled with diversity of intelligent life. Through the Envisioning the Future program we seek to collect images of posthumanity and non-human intelligence, positive, negative and neutral, and engage culture critics, artists, writers, and filmmakers in exploring the lessons to be derived from these cultural expressions.
