Chris T. Armstrong, a former software engineer, now writes about transhumanism and related topics. Even God Herself is his first novel, which he describes as ultra-utopian Science Fiction. His nonfiction work includes At Any Cost: A Guide to The Transhumanist Wager and the Ideas of Zoltan Istvan and a chapter in The Transhumanism Handbook, published by Springer and edited by Newton Lee. His transhumanism-related essays have been published by IEET, Humanity Plus Magazine, and the India Future Society, among others. Chris studied computer science at Arizona State University, focusing on artificial intelligence, and ethnomusicology/systematic musicology at UCLA. He has a BFA and MFA from California Institute of the Arts in World Music.

Quotes by Chris T. Armstrong  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Francis Bacon: Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.

Chris T. Armstrong: Nature, to be transcended, must be amended.

Transhumanism: Using science and technology to transcend our biological limitations.

Biology is just too fragile. Onward to post-biological durability.”
Chris T. Armstrong

“Too vast is Man and too imponderable his nature. Too varied are his talents, and too inexhaustible his strength. Beware of those who attempt to set him boundaries.”
Mikhail Naimy, The Book of Mirdad: The strange story of a monastery which was once called The Ark

“The philosophy that accepts death must itself be considered dead, its questions meaningless, its consolations worn out.”
Alan Harrington, The Immortalist

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Rumi

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”
Terence McKenna

“Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. ”
Aristotle, Politics
