The idea of a coherent Transhumanist (H+) response to misrepresentation in the media, or indeed outright opposition to H+ ideas, is one that evolved in my mind over the past few years as a member of the UK Transhumanist Association (UKTA). However, it was not until we founded Zero State under the leadership of Dr Amon Twyman that anything came of it. His radical notion was that we actually do something instead of talk about it!

This project is one of the first fruits, where I “just did it”.
