Giulio Prisco
Giulio Prisco is an Information Technology and Virtual Reality consultant[1]; as well as a futurist, writer and transhumanist[2]. Currently based in Madrid, Spain, he runs the consulting company Metafuturing and contributes to the science and technology online magazine Tendencias21[3]. His principal interests include: science, emerging technologies, IT, VR worlds, space and future studies.
Formerly a senior manager in the European Space Administration (ESA), he is a former physicist and computer scientist. He recently resigned as Executive Director and Board member of the World Transhumanist Association but continues to serve on the Board of Directors of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies[4]. He is also a member of the advisory board of the Lifeboat Foundation [5] and a founding member of the Order of Cosmic Engineers, an as yet largely ignored association which claims accelerating technological change (and a resulting technological singularity) should or would be a viable alternative to established major religions. [6]. Giulio Prisco has been repeatedly at odds with the blogger Dale Carrico on the topic of "longterm transhumanism". [7].
