Jason Reza Jorjani, PhD, is a philosopher and author of Prometheus and Atlas, World State of Emergency, Lovers of Sophia, Novel Folklore: The Blind Owl of Sadegh Hedayat, Iranian Leviathan: A Monumental History of Mithra’s Abode, and Prometheism. Here he suggests that humankind is at a brink of a series of technological breakthroughs so radical as to alter our understanding of reality in ways that are unpredictable. GRIN technologies include genetic engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology. In addition, he discusses time travel and the prospect that we are living inside of a programmable virtual reality.
