- More about The Politics and Ethics of Transhumanism: Techno-Human Evolution and Advanced Capitalism
Transhumanism advocates for technology to enhance human capacities, but it is intertwined with capitalist ideology and casts doubt on a utopian techno-capitalist narrative. This book offers an alternative ethical framework for the future of life on the planet, critical in the debates around AI and digital technologies.

Transhumanism is a philosophy that promotes the use of technology to enhance human capacities. This book examines the promises of transhumanism and argues that it is deeply intertwined with capitalist ideology. In a time of increasing crisis and inequality, it challenges the utopian techno-capitalist narrative of endless progress. By critiquing the transhumanist project, the book provides an alternative ethical framework for the future of life on the planet. As discussions about the development of AI and corporate-led digital technologies continue to gain momentum, this book is essential reading for academics and policymakers alike.
