What is the next evolutionary stage of humanity? Ted Chu has some surprising answers. A world-class macro economist, futurist and former chief economist at General Motors and the Abu Dhabi investment Authority, he is currently a professor of economics, but for the last 15 years his second career has been focused on the philosophical dilemmas raised by today’s transhumanist movement and humanity's place in the universe. He is the author of Human Purpose and Transhuman Potential: a Cosmic Vision for Our Future Evolution (March, 2014, Origin Press)
