Summary

Cyberpsychological research suggests that we are increasingly merging with our technology (Parsons, 2017; see also Chapter 3). Director of engineering at Google and chancellor of Singularity University, Ray Kurzweil (2010) has gone so far as predicting that, by the 2020s, we will have reverse-engineered the entire brain. Predictions abound related to the potential impact of nanobots on our consciousness, but we are still a long way from transhumanist imaginations about upgrading our brains with implantable computer chips.
