The fusion of technology with human biology has been foretold for decades in classic futurist theories such as those depicted in Ray Kurzweil’s famous book, The Singularity is Near. To follow the futurists’ logic in foretelling this, you have to believe that evolution does not stop at biology. Instead, evolution continues when a species evolves to the point where it can produce technology for the purpose of manipulating the species’ environment to its advantage. Past this point, the species eventually realizes its capability of fusing technology with its own body, to bypass the limitations of biology while accelerating the species’ own evolution at a speed far greater than biological evolution alone could possibly muster. This is the next great frontier in our evolution - a way to extend our lives and enhance our physical, mental, and intellectual capabilities beyond what was previously thought possible.
