Give me book recs/a reading list for the true futuristic man. Vaguely STEM-related, but speculative philosophy and cultural interpretation is valid as well.

Topics im looking for:
>Transhumanism
>Singularity discourse
>AI
>Media-driven simulation discourse
>Psychedelic usage
Writers like Ray Kurzweil, Terrence Mckenna, David Chalmers are in the vein of what I'm looking for. Most importantly idc if the works in question are controversial or potentially baseless. I just want to know what people are thinking and hotly debating in regards to our 21st century world and technology.

David Pearce thinks transhumanism and gene editing will eventually lead to suffering being abolished entirely.

But that's a bad thing. We need more suffering, not less.

Read rationalist blogs. That's where you'll find most discussion, not in books.
