Moonshot Moments and Humanity’s Next Renaissance
While humanity faces unprecedented ecological and social challenges, advances in technology and our understanding of the mind are creating the conditions for a global renaissance. Weaving together personal transformation through transhumanism with a call for global collaboration, author Milan Kordestani presents an inspiring roadmap to a brighter future.
Humanity stands at a crossroads. Technological development outpaces our confidence, with each innovation bringing both wonder and unease. We grapple with the fear of the unknown and the anxieties of a rapidly changing world. We wonder if new technologies will decimate our job market, increase inequality, or endanger our species. But what if the key to unlocking our full potential lies not in clinging to the familiar, but in embracing humanity’s potential for radical thinking?
Moonshot Moments is a marriage of science, philosophy, history, and futurism. Bestselling author Milan Kordestani chronicles his journey to thrilling and unforeseen frontiers in our understanding of consciousness, the self, and humanity’s cosmic destiny. His exploration moves beyond the growing anxiety over rapid AI development to offer a unifying, transhumanist vision for the future of humankind. Readers will discover how to organize their own mindsets and work toward a collaborative community that is fueled by innovation, building a society that will spark solutions to tomorrow’s challenges. Moonshot Moments is not just a glimpse into a brighter future, it's a blueprint for actively creating it.

Talking to the Blank page
I never realized writing a book would be such a long dialogue.
Maybe that’s because it’s my first, and I was naive. This book was over three years in the making, an evolving conversation between myself and the page. And a blank page is a terrible conversation partner.
During that time, the book constantly evolved, just as a conversation does. As I workshopped each chapter with friends, got each new set of edits from my team, or worked my way through the stoics one more time, my emphasis changed. Some chapters ballooned, others dissolved and were boxed for other projects. In the end, my wonderful editorial team and I went with our final statements, and words were made permanent in ink and pixels.
The end result, I’m Just Saying, is far more conversational than I ever expected. I became comfortable addressing common questions and describing my favorite strategies. That long conversation I had with the page made me better at discourse - precisely because practice makes perfect when it comes to improving our civil discourse skills!
And, in the end, that blank page was one of the best conversations I’ve had.
