Dare we ask what humanity is for? Are we the end-point of creation, the pinnacle of evolution? In this work, Ted Chu argues that the human race may in fact be a means rather than an end—and that our true purpose may be to evolve toward a future that includes but transcends our agelong search for happiness. In this work of enormous erudition, Chu offers the option of a cosmic vision of evolution, one that may include the rise of new kinds of sentient beings, freed from our genetic limitations.
