Abstract
Human obsolescence is imminent. We are living through an era
in which our activity is becoming less and less relevant to our
well-being and to the fate of our planet. This trend toward
increased obsolescence is likely to continue in the future, and we
must do our best to prepare ourselves and our societies for this
reality. Far from being a cause for despair, this is in fact an
opportunity for optimism. Harnessed in the right way, the
technology that hastens our obsolescence can open us up to
new utopian possibilities and enable heightened forms of human
flourishing
