True MutationsTrue Mutations: Interviews on the Edge of Science, Technology, and Consciousness looks at the wild changes that may be coming to the human species during the 21st century. In a series of interviews, author/host RU Sirius explores (r)evolutions in disciplines ranging from the evolution of clean energy to the possibilities of endless neurological ecstasy; from open-source free access to nearly everything under the sun to self-directed biotechnological evolution; from psychedelic culture mash-ups to the possibilities of a technological singularity that alters not only humanity but the entire universe. In 2007, True Mutations takes up where his earlier book (with Rudy Rucker) Mondo 2000: A User’s Guide to the New Edge left off. Playful, informative, occasionally skeptical, frequently trippy, and sometimes funny, these conversations will turn you on to new ways of thinking about our sometimes scary and definitely wiggy times. May they inspire new forms of creative work and play among those who read it.
