After having just finished a book pooh poohing the notion of exponential growth lasting forever and our world hurtling forward in an ever increasing technologically enhanced society, I started Radical Evolution by Joel Garreau which so far reads like a manual for hurtling towards a technologically enhanced future with exponential growth lasting forever. Specifically he talks about biomedical and genetic enhancements. It really is a great book and gives some of the actual science and technology behind books like: Uglies, Pretties, Specials and Extras by Scott Westerfeld.
