Max More (born Max T. O'Connor, January 1964, with name legally changed in 1990) is a philosopher and futurist who writes, speaks, and consults on emerging technologies.[1][2] He was the president and CEO of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation between 2010 and 2020.[3]

Born in Bristol, England, More has a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from St Anne's College, Oxford (1987).[4] His 1995 University of Southern California doctoral dissertation The Diachronic Self: Identity, Continuity, and Transformation examined several issues that concern transhumanists, including the nature of death, and what it is about each individual that continues despite great change over time.[5] In 1996, he married transhumanist Natasha Vita-More; the couple are close collaborators on transhumanist and life extension research.[6]

More founded the Extropy Institute and has written many articles espousing the philosophy of transhumanism and the transhumanist philosophy of extropianism,[7] including his "Principles of Extropy".[8][9] In a 1990 essay "Transhumanism: Toward a Futurist Philosophy",[10] he introduced the term "transhumanism" in its modern sense.[11]
