History
Natasha Vita-More grew up in a large family on the East Coast of the United States, where her father was an art director at Young and Rubicam in New York City. She became interested in the future at an early age, but did not pursue it until having suffered an ectopic pregnancy. From the point forward, her work has reflected a continuous theme about the fragility of life and the possibilities of human enhancement and radical life extension. Vita-More lived in in the ski resort and film festival community of Telluride, Colorado and later Los Angeles. Currently she lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
