In researching our prospective near-future world and creating my own version of it in Lifespinners, I accumulated a library of around 3,500 English-language articles from a wide range of sources: Various scientific magazines and quality newspapers; The Conversation (a brilliant international news/analysis outlet for university-based research articles geared to a wider public readership); the BBC’s wonderful science publications; future-oriented online platforms; and other formats aimed at the interested lay reader, as well as topic specialists. My library has continued to expand since the publication of Lifespinners in 2023 and every month reveals a wealth of fascinating new ideas and discoveries.
This website highlights the interrelated Lifespinners themes of Longevity & Rejuvenation, Regeneration & Enhancement, Radical life extension & Immortality and Brain & Mind, plus the equally fascinating topics of Animal talents & Superpowers and Space travel & Survival. My growing library also has sections devoted to other issues within the overarching subject of Human Reshaping, such as Love & Intimacy and Consciousness & Inner Space. As the website evolves I plan to add more thematic overview pieces, according to the interests of readers. My current overviews will also be continually updated.
Looking ahead, I hope to team up with others and extend our site publicity to include near-future and speculative books (fiction and non-fiction) and events such as conferences, shows, festivals, film premieres and exhibitions. Guest podcasts and blogs may follow, with a range of contributions from researchers, writers, professional practitioners, social innovators and lay commentators.
Other exciting possibilities include real-world Lifespinners events, interactive site features and opportunities to set up new projects or create special interest forums. Do get in touch if you are keen to be involved in our future promotion and collaboration.
