'''Designer Evolution: A Transhumanist Manifesto''' is a book by Simon Young.

Forewords by Dr. [[Aubrey de Grey]] (Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge) and [[Robert A. Freitas Jr.]] (Senior Research Fellow, Institute for Molecular Manufacturing).

<blockquote>"In Designer Evolution Simon Young presents a polemical espousal of transhumanist philosophy and a trenchant attack on its critics, the "Bio-Luddites." The author calls for a rejection of premodern superstition and postmodern nihilism in favor of a renewed belief in human progress through scientific rationality.
In an age when cynicism, fatalism, and nihilism are rife, Designer Evolution will rekindle a feeling of optimism about the future of our species. This is a concise, reader-friendly introduction to a vitally important philosophy that will become difficult to ignore as advances in biotechnology increasingly claim the headlines in the coming decades."- From the book summary at Amazon.com<ref>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GHBS60/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Amazon.com Summary</ref></blockquote>

Simon Young is also an English composer-pianist of Romantic Minimalism and Technoromanticism.
