Description
Transhumanism is a philosophical-technological movement that aims to help us escape the limitations of our embodied existence. So-called human enhancement promises to eliminate aging, enhance IQ and eventually enable us to transition from human to posthuman. This inherent techno-utopianism is also woven into the fabric of our culture. You might be a transhumanist and not know it. You don’t have to be a luddite to resist a posthuman future.
