Sommario/riassunto |
|
Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence This book interrogates the promises of transhumanism, arguing that it is deeply entwined with capitalist ideology. It casts doubt on a utopian techno-capitalist narrative of unending progress and shows how an alternative ethical framework might foster a more inclusive future. |
