the human nature i'm probably not going to like it.

Well it's JMO. Much of the book concerns amplifying human abilities. Optimist that he is, he never considers that some are ill and could use these enhancements for harm. Just believe he grasps the technology better than human nature. The book covers a range of possibilities. Whether you agree with his timeline (or not), he does provide a framework within which to "think about" the impact of technology. His view is far more disruptive than the typical linear extrapolations occurring from more pedestrian prognosticators. FWIW
