Adam is an English futurist from Nottingham who has held a passion for transhumanism, posthumanism, bioethics and suffering-abolitionism for almost twenty years since early teenagehood. Discovering David Pearce's 'Hedonistic Imperative' had a considerable influence on him and the course of his life from then on. Furthermore, Adam is an ardent writer who also works as an editor and proofreader. He also has experience in other areas including music, pharmacy and phenomenology.

David is a British transhumanist. He is a prominent figure within the transhumanism movement and is one of the co-founders of the World Transhumanist Association, currently rebranded and incorporated as Humanity+. He approaches ethical issues from a lexical negative utilitarian perspective. Based in Brighton, England, Pearce maintains a series of websites devoted to transhumanist topics and what he calls the "hedonistic imperative", a moral obligation to work towards the abolition of suffering in all sentient life. His self-published internet manifesto, The Hedonistic Imperative (1995), outlines how pharmacology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology and neurosurgery could converge to eliminate all forms of unpleasant experience from human and non-human life, replacing suffering with "information-sensitive gradients of bliss". Pearce calls this the "abolitionist project".
