“We are smart enough to realize that we are stupid, and stupid enough to make the problem of becoming smarter hard.”

Anders Sandberg is radical futurist determined to surpass the limitations of the human form. He was previously  a senior fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford. He is a self-described 'academic jack of all trades', co-founder of and writer for the think tank Eudoxa, and chaired the Swedish Transhumanist Association for 4 years.

An ardent transhumanist, Anders comes to the festival brimming with innovative ideas about the ethical and social implications of future technologies.
