An important book as well as a good one. A really significant contribution to our discussion of the future . . . Becker's book is very entertaining as it exposes how the emperor has no clothes -- Kim Stanley Robinson, author of THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE With a wild and utterly engaging narrative, Becker gives us a refreshing reality check on the fantasies of billionaires, futurists and utilitarian philosophers who are plotting to ""optimize"" the future of humanity. A fascinating exposé -- Melanie Mitchell, author of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A GUIDE FOR THINKING HUMANS I love this book. Becker has become our greatest prophet of doom -- Errol Morris, documentary filmmaker and author of THE ASHTRAY Our world has fallen into the clutches of billionaires who mistake dystopian science-fiction stories for suggestions, rather than warnings. Speaking in my capacity as a dystopian science-fiction writer, I can confirm that this isn't merely very stupid, it's also very, very bad -- Cory Doctorow, author of RED TEAM BLUES and LITTLE BROTHER Disconcerting . . . More Everything Forever is a disturbing and important book -- New Scientist
