  Trans-humanist dystopia may not be that far away. In the future, humans are going to be artificially intelligent (AI). Google Director of Engineering Ray Kurzweil said, “We’ll also be able to fully back up our brains. We’re going to gradually merge and enhance ourselves. Our thinking then will be a hybrid of…
