"One of the reason that the authorities tend to be anxious about the future is that things are, in a sense, getting out of control," says Jay Cornell, co-author of the new book The Disinformation Encyclopedia of Transhumanism and the Singularity.

Reason TV interviewed Cornell and co-author R.U. Sirius, who both worked as editors of the transhumanist/futurist magazine h+. They discussed the future of of biohacking, body modification, and the effects that decentralizing technologies such as 3-D printing will have on the future of scientific innovation in America.

Hint to Reason editors:
You can scan pages of copy to see if any of it is of interest. No way am I wasting 7 minutes to 'scan' a vid to see if that is so.
Judging from the lack of comments, I'm not alone.
