Frank White

Frank White is a writer who has spent much of his career thinking about the implications of space exploration for human evolution. He has authored a total of six books, including: The Overview Effect, The SETI Factor, March of the Millennia and Think About Space (with Isaac Asimov), The Ice Chronicles (with Paul Mayewski) and Decision: Earth, a novel. Frank’s latest book, Decision: Earth, explores the impact of human contact with extraterrestrial intelligence and artificial intelligence. It is the first of a series of works that explicitly considers transhumanism and posthumanism, philosophies that take the current human condition as one step in a long process of evolution that will eventually move beyond homo sapiens. Recent developments in both governmental and non-governmental space exploration efforts appear to vindicate many of the ideas that were explicated in The Overview Effect. Frank is now working on a revision of that work, focusing The New Overview Effect on trends that have begun to appear since the first book came out in 1987. He is also working on “The Overview Project,” which has the goal of producing a documentary on The Overview Effect.
