This book unlike most on the subject takes a fresh and generally positive look at eugenics. It discusses the potential of eugenics for human species improvement; especially when combined with the ever advancing applied science of genetic engineering.The author inspired by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's visions of an Overman discusses the realistic possibility of creating a 21st century version of the Übermensch by the utilization of modern eugenics and genetic engineering. This book is at times blunt and controversial while at the same time thought provoking. It paints a picture of an interesting future when today's humans will be relegated to the same level of importance by the Overman that we consider apes today. For those people unsure about the meaning of eugenics and wishing to get a good understanding of this much miss understood scientific philosophy and its present day applications then this book is for you. The author writes in a very non politically correct and entertaining way. Love it or hate it when finished the reader will have a strong opinion of both this book and the author.
