Humanity at the Crossroad
Co-authored by Carlos Creus Moreira and David Fergusson, Humanity at the Crossroad delivers a powerful and fluid exploration of the transformative convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing—two technologies that are reshaping the world faster than society can adapt.
Quantum computing is unlocking computational capabilities that promise breakthroughs in fields such as healthcare, climate science, and global security. But as it intertwines with AI, it accelerates the evolution of systems that are not only faster but increasingly autonomous and unpredictable. The convergence of these technologies places humanity at a critical juncture, raising urgent questions about control, ethics, and our ability to coexist with such powerful tools.
The greatest technology on the planet is the human
The TransHuman Code Book to be pre-launched at Davos during the TransHuman Code Event . This is a book about a simple truth. But not just any simple truth. This is a truth on which the world’s future hinges. If you and enough other people embrace it, we will have a real shot at ending global plagues like cancer, hunger, poverty and sickness. Innovation will flourish. Democracy will lead. Compassion will reach further. The simple truth is this: the greatest technology on the planet is the human.

Over the past 25 years, with China’s rising, I have been witness to the most dramatic growth of the financial markets in our country. Today, China is undergoing another revolution, the technological revolution and it is both promising and threatening. We are pioneering the development and application of blockchain, AI and IoT for people of all ages, income levels and professions. By applying the transHuman Code, China can bring together social responsibility and technological innovation for the benefit of all.
Every user of technology—which is pretty much everybody—should read this book. It’s filled with profound questions we should all be asking ourselves about what we hope our relationship with technology will, and will not, ultimately do for us. Before you pick up your phone again, read The transHuman Code.
This is a book that delivers a long-term view on how to manage the convergence of humanity and technology. Only David and Carlos have the foresight and network to bring together a stellar group of experts on the socio-political impact of techno-economical transformations happening on a daily basis all over the world. This is indeed a great platform to engage us all in a conversation that is so critical to our future!
The TransHuman Code is the MUST READ book of the year. As technology continues to disrupt every aspect our lives, David and Carlos discuss the imminent need for a bold conversation on what makes us human and what values we need to preserve and strengthen - before it’s too late. No topic is off limits and that’s what makes this book so essential.
Artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, sensors, and the internet of things promise a brave new world of greater efficiencies and novel solutions. What humanity needs, now more than ever, is a sensible user manual that will direct us in how to use this technology. Moreira and Fergusson give us this guidance. The transHuman Code is a lucid and compelling humanist's blueprint on how to ensure the disruptive technologies, that will define the 21st century, are harnessed for the public good.
In 1981, The Soul of a New Machine lauded the obsessive pursuit of a technology innovation that highlighted the feverish dedication of a few bright minds. The transHuman Code reminds us that humans remain at the center of automation’s evolution, with a collective responsibility to bring our unique sensibilities to bear, whether we are technologists or not. The transHuman Code invites everyoneto be a part of the conversation.
With the transHuman Code, we can establish the most important basic principle of technological innovation – Ethics of use. Every coder should owe a moral responsibility to only create products that the whole world can use safely in the world of AI. We have been waiting too long for this book!
Our world is being transformed at an unprecedented pace. This book raises the question at the center of this new era of technological disruption: what will the role be for humans in the future? With the transHuman Code, we can now choose a path for our future that protects both humanity and human identity.
Human society is being transformed by new technologies, and the big question is: What is the DNA of this emerging new world? David and Carlos have assembled a tremendous resource for understanding what this transHuman world will look like, and more importantly how we can guide it to be a world whose character is more human than technological. A must read!
