Conversations on the edge of the Apocalypse : contemplating the future with Noam Chomsky, George Carlin, Deepak Chopra, Rupert Sheldrake, and others

Summary: Part scientific exploration and part philosophical speculation, this book is a collection of interviews with some of the leading thinkers of our time about the future of the human race, and the mystery of consciousness, from scientific, philosophical and spiritual perspectives. It explores such topics as the future evolution of technology and consciousness, the relationship between science and religion, ecology and human values, altered states of consciousness, the possibility of intelligent extraterrestrial life, psychic phenomena, life after death, and the fate of the human race.--From publisher description.
