Sci-Fi: Post-Human

from The Yarn · host Centre for Advancing Journalism

2030. That’s the date renowned futurist Ray Kurzweil says humans could merge with machines and achieve immortality. He's is a disciple of transhumanism — a movement aiming to cheat death through technological innovations. We might not get there by 2030, but this week, we’re bringing you stories about the breakthroughs paving the way. Stories about breaking free from human limits. It’s the first episode of Sci-Fi, a series envisioning alternative futures and imaginary realms. These stories were produced for the Science Gallery’s new exhibition — Sci-Fi: Mythologies Transformed, which opens this weekend. Featuring stories by Anna Siemering, Vivian Wei, Zi Xuan Kon, and Darcy Towe. Image by kjpargeter on Freepik. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
