Renowned for her curious and inquisitive persona, Briar Prestidge has set out on a bold journey to explore the future of humanity. This is because she believes in empowering a society of creative thinkers, while integrating the innovations of the ‘far future’ into our day-to-day lives. Briar is fearlessly inquiring into the possibilities of human augmentation, AI, the metaverse, nanotechnology, longevity and life extension, digital twins, and the overall transformative potential of technology on society.

To learn about these complex topics, Briar has been interviewing countless futurists, philosophers, transhumanists, and experts across Dubai, New York, London, Dublin, and beyond, as part of her podcast HYPERSCALE and her ongoing documentary, Cyborg To Be.

In a world on the brink of a monumental shift, where the impact of technology could surpass even that of the Industrial Revolution, we find ourselves faced with fears of job loss to AI, the rise of intelligent chatbots, and the transformative power of new technologies like the metaverse, while science explores the possibilities of altering our genetics and prolonging our lifespans.

Briar Prestidge, “Web3 evangelist” (Forbes), is exploring where humanity fits within this equation. To find the answers she’s looking for, Briar is pulling out all the stops. The goal is to become better, stronger, faster and smarter through exercise, supplements, biohacking, brain training and medical treatments, and Briar will be offering herself up as a “test subject” to experiment with these practices and encouraging others to do the same. After all, it’s important to realize that If we want to transform our lives, we first have to transform ourselves.
