Creating Future People

"This is an excellent, indeed outstanding little book. I am very familiar with the literature on biomedical enhancement, and before I read this manuscript, I was doubtful that there is anything really new and important to say about the topic. I was wrong. By focusing on collective action problems and negative externalities, Anomaly has done a great service."
Allen Buchanan, University of Arizona

"Thoughtful and provocative, Creating Future People makes a bold case in favour of altering our genome to benefit individuals and society as a whole. Combining insights from philosophy, biology and economics, Anomaly shines a light on many neglected aspects of genetic modification - including the potential for collective action problems and network effects. The book provides a timely addition to an increasingly important global debate."
Christopher Gyngell, University of Melbourne

"[A]n excellent contribution to the ongoing debate about the ethics of genetic enhancement. The book's brevity . . . is a real virtue, since the author covers an extraordinary amount of ground with clear, concise and robust argumentation. It is beautifully written and combines in exemplary fashion philosophical rigor with scientific literacy."
David Archard in Bioethics

"Anomaly has an admirable command of the technological advances being made with enhancement technologies and he addresses the ethical complexity of these developments with competence and insight. . . . His examination of cognitive enhancement is insightful and provocative, and effectively demonstrates why this is an issue that should be given serious consideration rather than blindly ignored or cavalierly embraced."
Colin Farrelly in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
