On Thursday February 5th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a discussion on the recent Dan Brown novel "Inferno" and the the cult of Transhumanism that it seems to advocate. This is a highly controversial subject and deals with issues that are deeply challenging from a moral and ethical position. We will also go back to an earlier novel by H.G. Wells "Men like Gods" which deals with the same issues and projects a genetically perfected future utopia that seems to be the goal of the transhumanists. We will compare this form of human elitism with the process of Hermetic self development and ask ourselves which way we would rather follow to become "more than human?" So tune in and find out what's coming in the next 100 years.
