About this listen

What does it mean for traditional athletes when the Olympics pioneers human body augmentation?

Imagine athletes who have been technologically augmented to make them faster, stronger...better.  It’s 2048 and a new dawn for athletics: will these future Olympians herald glory and progress as they push past the boundaries of human limitation, or are we stepping dangerously close to an ‘Übermensch’ mentality? 

As the crowds cheer and sporting heroes put new technology to the test,  find out if it will be ultimately magnificent or fundamentally immoral?
