In 1981, The Soul of a New Machine lauded the obsessive pursuit of a technology innovation that highlighted the feverish dedication of a few bright minds. The transHuman Code reminds us that humans remain at the center of automation’s evolution, with a collective responsibility to bring our unique sensibilities to bear, whether we are technologists or not. The transHuman Code invites everyoneto be a part of the conversation.

Artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, sensors, and the internet of things promise a brave new world of greater efficiencies and novel solutions. What humanity needs, now more than ever, is a sensible user manual that will direct us in how to use this technology. Moreira and Fergusson give us this guidance. The transHuman Code is a lucid and compelling humanist's blueprint on how to ensure the disruptive technologies, that will define the 21st century, are harnessed for the public good.

Every user of technology—which is pretty much everybody—should read this book. It’s filled with profound questions we should all be asking ourselves about what we hope our relationship with technology will, and will not, ultimately do for us. Before you pick up your phone again, read The transHuman Code.

With the transHuman Code, we can establish the most important basic principle of technological innovation – Ethics of use. Every coder should owe a moral responsibility to only create products that the whole world can use safely in the world of AI. We have been waiting too long for this book!

The TransHuman Code is the MUST READ book of the year. As technology continues to disrupt every aspect our lives, David and Carlos discuss the imminent need for a bold conversation on what makes us human and what values we need to preserve and strengthen - before it’s too late. No topic is off limits and that’s what makes this book so essential.
