    Excellent idea, and the first good thing I've heard on this list in a
    long time. I would probably enjoy writing such a book. Hopefully you
    can get over your prejudice against the idea of me being objective. If
    not, I hope somebody picks up the ball on this. Perhaps we need a
    competition: someone writes Transhumanism for Dummies and someone else
    writes Transhumanism for Idiots. Whoever finishes first gets the ExI
    stamp of approval...
