All futurology falls into one of two categories. 

The first branch predicts that we will soon become subsumed in our technology and radically alter human nature by either becoming immortal or having genetically altered babies or uploading our brains into computers, etc.  These people I call New Testament Transhumanists because they have heard the good news of Technology and welcome its commencing.  

The second type of futurist is the Old Testament Transhumanist.  He agrees with the New Testament folks that technology is accelerating, but is fearful of the inevitable techno-future.  Leon Kass and Bill Joy fall into this category.  Some, like the Peak Oil people, believe that we will be betrayed by technology and hurled back into the Olduvai Gorge to live like cavemen again. 

Some people flip-flop between these two positions.  For instance, British journalist Bryan Appleyard wrote a book called Brave New Worlds: Staying Human in the Genetic Future where he wrings his hands about a future similar to Huxley’s novel.  However, here is an article where Appleyard now says that we are heading to a “New Dark Age” where technology will fail us.  

Can’t the truth be somewhere in the middle!!!

This is precisely my point.  Our future lies somewhere in the roomy middle (see figure below).  My argument against both branches of futurism is radical in how boring it is which is precisely why you will never hear of it in the popular media.  Our future is more of the same.
