Incidentally, you are spot on about Monbiot; I heard him speak at an FoE annual conference in about 1996 and was deeply suspicious. I recognized a certain slipperiness, which I fear has got worse.
Very helpful. Thanks. Looking forward to parts two and three. I recently read The Coming Wave, which you cite. What other books would you recommend on these issues? I've been trying to digest accessible books to get me started (God, Human, Animal, Machine; The Regenesis Machine; As Gods; The Coming Wave). Others?
Thanks for this, Jim. As ever, your analysis is very useful. I would like to think that my work, and that of my compadres at the Center for Genetics and Society, is complementary with yours. My review of Suleyman’s book might be of interest: https://www.geneticsandsociety.org/biopolitical-times/ai-biotech-and-race-control-future.

This is one of the scariest things I've read in a long time, and I spend most of my time mired in the ecological crisis.
