With his popular 2016 US Presidential run as a science candidate, bestselling book The Transhumanist Wager, and speeches at institutions like the World Bank and World Economic Forum, Zoltan Istvan has spearheaded the effort to transform transhumanism into a thriving worldwide phenomenon. He is often cited as the global leader of the radical science movement. A humanitarian activist and former journalist for National Geographic, Zoltan has been compared in major media to a young Al Gore and described as a modern-day Ayn Rand.

Born in California, Zoltan is an Ivy-league educated man yearning to use science, technology, and reason to dramatically remake humanity. Over the last few years, Zoltan has consulted for the US Navy and the Government of Dubai as a futurist, interviewed to be Libertarian Gary Johnson’s Vice President, appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience (and dozens of other shows), and gave many speeches, including at Microsoft, the Global Leaders Forum, Congreso Futuro, and the Financial Times Camp Alphaville (opening Keynote).
