Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licenceTranshumanism is a philosophy which advocates for the use of technology to radically enhance human capacities.This book interrogates the promises of transhumanism, arguing that it is deeply entwined with capitalist ideology. In an era of escalating crisis and soaring inequality, it casts doubt on a utopian techno-capitalist narrative of unending progress. In critiquing the transhumanist project, the book offers an alternative ethical framework for the future of life on the planet.As the debates around the advancement of AI and corporate-led digital technologies intensify, this is an important read for academics as well as policy makers .

Recensioner i media

“A uniquely rich and thoughtful account of one of the most destructive ideologies of our time. This is a book for anyone who wants a clearsighted view of the current political moment.” Alice Crary, University of Oxford“At the edge of academic debates, an increasingly powerful position has developed: transhumanism. Thomas exposes its celebratory take on capitalism, data and technology, and its false solutions to contemporary dilemmas. A much-needed guide.” Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science "Erudite and thorough - the most rational discussion of Transhumanism to date. No less than a seminal intervention in the field." Jonathan Hay, University of Chester
