Imagine being able to see in ultraviolet light. Sense magnetic fields. Having a virtual replica of your mind in the digital world.

Enter the world of transhumanism: a movement championing tech to augment human ability. Extend the body, the mind, the ways in which we can live our lives. Free us from limitations, infirmities, even biological bodies.

Anders Sandberg, philosopher, neuroscientist, and mathematician at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford, shares how he became a transhumanist, why he has decided to freeze his body when he’s dying, and what technologies could help us one day break the barriers of our human bodies. Enhance our human condition – health, memory, even mortality.

Watch this riveting conversation between a polymath and radical futurist, and Shoma Chaudhury, Director-Curator of SYNAPSE and Founder of Lucid Lines.
