There's Claire Boucher, a scrappy Canadian teen who loved video games; Grimes, the techno musician whose fame blossomed in the 2010s; and right now there's c, who's dabbling in AI and transhumanism (and figuring out how you might teach this concept to babies).

"If I died in space, I would be like, 'You've lived a great life, you did all the things you wanted to do.'" — Michelle Legro | Deputy Editor, Features READ THE FULL STORY You Might Also Like The Cloud Is a Prison.
