The Plot Against Humanity
Quakertown, Pa.: Antelope Hill Publishing, 2022
Scott Howard’s third book for Antelope Hill is an examination of the push by hostile globalist elites to bring about a transhumanist-informed, bio-digital age.

Frank Herbert’s six Dune novels fall into three pairs. Dune (1965) and Dune Messiah (1969) chart the rise and fall of Paul “Muad’Dib” Atreides, a man who becomes a superman and the God Emperor of the known universe.

Potrhlý Izraelec Yuval Noah Harari je rasista v tom nejryzejším slova smyslu: jako cestu kupředu vidí eliminaci celé lidské rasy.
Zatímco se řada z nás do roztrhání těla snaží zastavit velkou výměnu, Harari s málo skrývaným uspokojením hovoří o náhradě rozsahu nesrovnatelně masivnějšího – tedy druhu Homo sapiens přístroji a algoritmy, které je uvádějí do pohybu. (more…)
