di Josh Luberisse (Autore)

Fortis Novum Mundum, 2025

In what is a monumental and deeply impressive exploration of humanity's next chapter, Homo Sapiens 2.0 delivers a landmark analysis of the advent of self-directed evolution. This is not a simple overview of future technology, but a work of profound intellectual rigor and startling clarity that synthesizes complex science, cutting-edge philosophy, and pragmatic political analysis into a single, masterfully constructed narrative. The book takes the reader on a systematic and unflinching journey. It begins by grounding us in the foundational tools of our new era—from the molecular scalpels of CRISPR to the cortical co-processors of neurotechnology. From there, it pivots to the staggering consequences, deconstructing the emergence of new social hierarchies, the chilling logic of the commodification of human traits, and the philosophical crises of identity and consciousness that arise when the human blueprint becomes editable text. A hallmark of this work is its "speculative realism." Homo Sapiens 2.0 crafts vivid, chillingly plausible scenarios—from the birth of a new Martian subspecies adapted for extraterrestrial life to an earthbound "upgrade economy" that threatens to create a permanent biological underclass—that feel less like fiction and more like well-researched prophecy. Yet this stark vision is meticulously balanced. A robust defense of "The Right to Remain Natural" provides a crucial counterpoint to technological inevitability, framing resistance not as mere Luddism but as a vital political, spiritual, and ecological necessity. Ultimately, Homo Sapiens 2.0 moves beyond diagnosis to prescription. It culminates in a powerful and pragmatic call for stewardship, proposing a detailed and credible framework for global governance—the "Human Specification Accord"—designed to navigate the treacherous ethical landscape ahead. This is a challenging, essential, and urgently needed book, destined to shape policy and public discourse. It is a map of the new territory humanity is entering, charting not only the immense promise for flourishing but also the profound perils of a future left to chance. For anyone seriously engaged with the future of technology, ethics, and the human species, this is indispensable reading. Evolution, once a blind force, now awaits our command. This book is the guide to the choices that lie before us.
