An engaging and far-ranging inquiry into humankind's destiny and the meaning of life, embracing both science and spirituality. Humankind has reached a state of consciousness that leads us to search for the reasons for our existence. Now within our reach is the ability to decide whether to allow evolution to shape our future unguided, or to actively choose what we would like to become. Informed by centuries of searching, both scientific and spiritual, we can now bridge the gap between these disparate disciplines to build an integrated roadmap to understand where we come from and where we can choose to go.
