Overview: This is the story of America’s zaniest presidential candidate - who wants to turn the whole population into cyborgs! It’s a true story… stranger than fiction!

Verdict: “Don’t stand there!”

Zoltan almost stepped on a landmine. He was in Vietnam, reporting for National Geographic. If his guide hadn’t warned him -- he’d be dead. Zoltan didn’t want to die. Who does?

But Zoltan realized something else just then. He didn’t want to die ever… In fact, he didn’t want anyone to die ever again. It’s an idea he’s been pushing now for years. He’s a leader in the “transhumanism” movement, which wants to merge humans with machines.

Zoltan drove a bus shaped like a coffin across the US, to teach people about the new frontiers of science that mean death is not inevitable. His presidential campaigns have attracted global attention. Imagine there were no diseases, because science had cured them all. Imagine storing your mind in a computer. Living longer than you ever expected -- for hundreds of years!

This is the extraordinary story of Zoltan’s war on death and from start to finish Transhuman Citizen by author Ben Murnane is engrossing, informatively sculpted, freshly original, and above all, an enticing read that is hard to put down at any time (I read it cover to cover in just three sittings).

You see, the author isn’t simply Ben Murnane, he is actually Dr. Murnane, and thus has a grasp on futurist issues and libertarian philosophy, so much so that their collective worlds collide here rather nicely.

Brought forth through the mind of a person who himself has battled a rare genetic illness, Falconi anemia, which itself comes with a low life expectancy, Murnane’s views on posthumanism, politics, longevity and thoughts on life extension all come to the fore here, in such a way as to push the limits of the human boundaries - both mental and physical - to allow us a little insight into a deeply personal life thus far lived, and that now bleeds its way onto these pages in a way to proffer hope to us all for longer lives to possibly come.

About the Author - Ben Murnane writes on culture, travel, health, technology, and politics. He is the author of five books, including a memoir of life with a rare genetic disease, Fanconi anemia. He holds a PhD from Trinity College Dublin, and his work has featured in various newspapers and academic publications. He lives in Ashford, Ireland.
