520 8  "Addressing a key issue related to human nature, this book
       argues that the first-person experience of pure 
       consciousness may soon be under threat from posthuman 
       biotechnology. Presented here for the first time, the 
       essential argument of this book is more than a warning; it
       gives a direction: far better to practice patience and 
       develop pure consciousness and evolve into a higher human 
       being than to fall prey to the Faustian temptations of 
       biotechnological power. As argued throughout the book, 
       each person must choose for him or herself between the 
       technological extension of physical experience through 
       mind, body and world on the one hand, and the natural 
       powers of human consciousness on the other as a means to 
       realize their ultimate vision."--Jacket.
