Claim and evidence Close ×
Warwick's foreword to de Garis's The Artilect War (2005) states his hope that de Garis's forecast of a major war is wrong and that humans, by enhancing themselves, can attain the abilities de Garis describes without such a war. It also calls de Garis's reasoning "frighteningly persuasive". Copy claim link
