Natasha Vita-More's vision of a future body design is the first future body design originally envisioned and conceptually designed with such technologies as nanotechnology. 

The first single cell for "Primo Posthuman" is known as A-Life. This image is a digitized drawing of muscle fibers. 

As the concept crystallized, Natasha began researching and developing how emerging technologies could be applied to a future body design. Her idea was to develop a body evolving at the speed of technology and which could interact with the brain to provide mobility vehicle for people whose biological bodies are no longer functioning.  Saddened by the current state of health and longevity of humanity, Natasha's vision was to develop a means for people to survive terrible accidents and diseases that restrict mobility, intellection, and sensory capabilities.

With a tongue-in-cheek marketing campaign, "Primo Posthuman's body design claims to be more powerful, better suspended and more flexible than the current fully biological body, and offers extended performance and modern style. The expansive interior provides advanced "metabrain" abilities and enhanced senses. Its nano-engineered spinal communication system runs under the guidance of networked AI with a wide range of optional features.
 

Some of these ideas may seem radical at first glance and may even cause you to imagine what it might be like to have a body that doesn't break down or one that lasts longer—much longer. 

If you could design your own body—give it any shape, size, color, contour, texture and elegant design—what would you choose? What if your body could regenerate healthier, fresher skin and worn out tendons, ligaments and joints with replaceable ones? What if your body was as sleek, as sexy, and feel as comfortable as your new automobile? These are just a few of the questions to consider in the decades ahead.
