From Humanist To Transhumanist To Singularity - a Philosophical Dialogue in Verse Paul Dolinsky Ph D

This work explores the "human place" in the future. The convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, genetic engineering and virtual reality makes possible a transition from humanism to transhumanism and then to singularity, as the merging of those two. Characters here, discuss such issues as death and rebirth, purpose or purposeless in nature and the nature of experience. Discussion is within the larger historical context of the emergence of the cosmos, and that of human beings and their possible future evolution. A prime issue for discussion by the dramatic characters, is the role of sensation and sensory based art, in humanity's future, in which sensation may occupy a very different place than at present.
