Publisher's Synopsis
Entrepreneur, futurist and philanthropist Hans Georg Näder takes us on a journey to the greatest secrets of the human body. Futuring Human Empowerment offers an exclusive look behind the closed doors of laboratories and think tanks worldwide where the most innovative researchers, engineers and start-ups are expanding the capabilities of the human body with artificial intelligence and progressive technologies. In exclusive in-depth conversations alongside over 160 photographic portraits, experts reveal how they use biotechnologies in the fights against pandemics and cancer, mobilizing the human body's hidden self-healing powers, deciphering the mathematical algorithm of life, cultivating stem cells on an industrial scale, and printing artificial replacements of vital organs on 3D bioprinters. A further focus of the book is the design of the human-machine interface. Indeed humanity entered the age of robots and cyborgs long ago, a period in which robot "co-workers" have increasingly taken on more of the workload in modern industry and numerous technologies are seamlessly incorporated into the human body, releasing its unseen potential.
