The Proactionary Imperative
A Foundation for Transhumanism
by Steve Fuller, Veronika Lipinska
Paperback, 153 Pages, Published 2014 by Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN-13: 978-1-137-43309-1, ISBN: 1-137-43309-4

"The 'proactionary principle' was introduced by transhumanists. Whereas precautionaries believe that we are on the brink of environmental catastrophe because we're too willing to take risks, proactionaries believe that humans stand apart from the rest of nature by our capacity for successful risk taking. In terms of current environmental problems, therefore, solutions lie not in turning our backs on our love affair with technology but by ..."

(The Art of Living)
by Steve Fuller
Paperback, 160 Pages, Published 2014 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-84465-204-4, ISBN: 1-84465-204-1

"In this challenging and provocative book, Steve Fuller contends that our continuing faith in science in the face of its actual history is best understood as the secular residue of a religiously inspired belief in divine providence. Our faith in science is the promise of a life as it shall be, as science will make it one day. Just as men once put their faith in God's activity in the world, so we now travel to a land promised by science. ..."

It provides a more detailed analysis of several quite divergent futures for 'being human' in the 21st century.
