In the book “Re-engineering Humanity”, the authors show how strongly we should hold the development of technology and humanity in our hands. They convey all the responsibility we should be aware of, showing
incredible examples of re-engineering humanity. This book will convince us why it’s so important we embed technologies with human values before they embed us with their own.
