1 I Know What You're Thinking

11/15/13

Imagine a world where your most intimate memory is public domain. By mapping neural pathways and decoding how thoughts are processed, scientists are reading minds with telepathy helmets and scanning hidden memories in ways that may put an end to privacy.

2 Robot Revolution

11/19/13

Experiments have transformed machines into creatures with consciousness; elsewhere, scientists are enhancing humans with synthetic parts that work better than the real thing. The result: a not-too distant world where man and machine are indistinguishable.

3 Cheating Time

11/26/13

Throughout history, men have built empires and held the lives of millions in their hands, but the one thing they couldn't conquer was death. Advances in medicine are now making age just a manageable chronic condition, and sickness a thing of the past.

4 Replacing God

12/3/13

Could God's long reign be in jeopardy? Advances are affording humans a power once reserved for only the Almighty--the ability to create life. But as we manipulate DNA and produce new species to our whim, will we find God's shoes too big to fill?

6 How To Be A Superhuman

12/17/13

Science stands at the brink of unlocking our primal instincts. Advancements in genetic engineering may soon free humans from the limitations that have linked us to the rest of the animal world. Pain, fear, uncertainty and fraily may be things of the past.
