Literary Theory:
Today I am joined by Lincoln Cannon and Chris Bradford, two of the fourteen cofounders of the Mormon Transhumanist Association. They define transhumanism, discuss our place in this ideology, and describe transhumanism's aims (using technology ethically to enhance human life). Thanks, Chris and Lincoln, for the great interview.
