We are fast approaching a moment of inflection when humans will either choose a transhuman future or remain as nature intended. But we don't have all the information we need to make this historic decision. As researchers work to create realistic experiences in robotics, artificial intelligence, and virtual-reality laboratories, they are discovering that our senses are far more powerful than previously known-beyond any machine and the rest of the animal kingdom.
We can see light at the level of a single photon with our unaided eyes, we can hear sounds with amplitudes smaller than the diameter of an atom, we ca smell a trillion or more scents, we can taste fresh water, and we can feel a single molecule change in thickness on a smooth surface.
Maureen Seaberg dispels lingering Victoria-era myths that have made us believe we don't sense as well as other animals. And she advocates for a more natural approach to growing and using our extraordinary "soft-tissue/high-tech" bodies with clear steps gleaned from the scientific literature and from those with superabilities, including herself. The next frontier of human potential is here. It's time to step into the power of our mighty senses.
