Technology rules us as much as laws do. It shapes the legal, social, and ethical environments in which we act. Every time we cross a street, drive a car, or go to the doctor, we submit to the silent power of technology. Yet, much of the time, the influence of technology on our lives goes unchallenged by citizens and our elected representatives. Our embrace of novel technological pathways, Sheila Jasanoff shows, leads to a complex interplay among technology, ethics, and human rights.

When Gene Roddenberry conceived Star Trek, he imagined a future very different from what was typically put forth in science fiction - a future where humanity has overcome greed, bigotry, misogyny, materialism, conflict and war. Star Trek's fans embraced that vision. But many consider it unattainable, if admirable, even those who wrote and produced Star Trek after Roddenberry. Is Star Trek's vision of the human future achievable? Can humanity overcome its darkest impulses and attain a new level of social cooperation and progress? The answer, per "Chasing the Enterprise", is Yes - we can do ...

When humanity stopped choosing, the universe stopped listening. Humanity has all but perfected a kindness: a system that gently smooths away the hardest human moments before they can break anyone. No one has to bear what they cannot carry. No one has to choose what they cannot undo. It is humane, it is universal, and it is quietly erasing the one thing that ever made us visible to whatever has been watching. Then, at 3:17 a.m., in a quiet laboratory, a cluster of human-derived cells does something it should not be able to do. It chooses. At a cost. For another. Moments later, the console ...
