Max More        

Philosopher & Futurist; CEO at Alcor Life Extension Foundation

Max More is a philosopher and futurist who writes, speaks, and consults on advanced decision-making about emerging technologies.

Born in Bristol, England, More has a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from Oxford University in St Anne's College, Oxford (1987). His 1995 University of Southern California doctoral dissertation The Diachronic Self: Identity, Continuity, and Transformation examined several issues that concern transhumanists, including the nature of death, and what it is about each individual that continues despite great change over time.

Founder of the Extropy Institute, Max More has written many articles espousing the philosophy of transhumanism and the transhumanist philosophy of extropianism, most importantly his Principles of Extropy. In a 1990 essay "Transhumanism: Toward a Futurist Philosophy", he introduced the term "transhumanism" in its modern sense.

At the start of 2011, Max More became president and CEO of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, an organization he joined in 1986.
