Inhaltsangabe

What happens when humanity stops accepting its limitations as permanent?

Transhumanism and the New Human explores the radical philosophy of redesigning the human condition. From genetic engineering, artificial organs, neural implants, and cognitive enhancement to life extension, mind uploading, artificial intelligence, and posthuman identity, this book examines the technologies that may transform not only what human beings can do, but what it means to be human at all.

Bringing together major thinkers, landmark experiments, real medical breakthroughs, and unsettling ethical questions, the book investigates the promises and contradictions of human enhancement. Can intelligence be upgraded without improving wisdom? Does changing personality liberate the self or replace it? Would radical longevity enrich life or make every decision indefinitely postponable? If a digital copy remembers your childhood, owns your memories, and insists it is you, should anyone believe it?
