Who are we? Are we our DNA or is it all in the brain? Are we our conscious minds, an unconscious one or both? What is the real nature of consciousness or the root cause of racism? Do we have free will? Are we our emotions and do egos actually exist? What does neuroscience really say about us? Are we mere actors in a giant computer simulation? Will we ever upload our minds or memories? And will transhumanism eventually cure all disease and solve the problem of our mortality? Beyond Machine Man is an exhilarating exploration of ourselves, a witty analysis of state of the art science, a detailed discussion of the inherent flaws in Machine Man philosophy, a deep look into the promises of transhumanism, and ultimately, the possibility of living a happier life beyond fear.

Autorenporträt
Arne Klingenberg was born in Switzerland (1963) where he graduated with tertiary degrees in macro-and microeconomics. He pursued a successful business career that took him more than 50 times around-the-world; starting out as assistant sales manager flying coach, he eventually got promoted to sales director traveling business, before ending up as CEO in first class. He helped to improve products while talking with factory workers and wined and dined (a.k.a. negotiating) with billionaires. While traveling for six months a year and living in seven countries, he experienced a myriad of cultures, customs and creeds, helping him to unravel the mysteries of life. He eventually resigned from his demanding position to focus on writing and consulting. Arne Klingenberg is the author of three practical philosophy books about happiness and other mind and consciousness matters. Since 1995 he advises highly accomplished leaders, helping them to solve both personal and corporate problems (in four languages). Arne and his Japanese-born wife, Miyuki, live mostly in the tropical parts of Australia where they've designed and built a fully self-cooling eco-house. He loves reading, writing and various sports (e.g. for over 38 years Arne practices Wing Chun kung fu, having learned directly from great grandmasters Lo Man Kam and Ip Chun), besides enjoying good food and wine in great company.
