Das Netz des Todes spinnen — ein Interview zum Transhumanismus ✼

Jessica Chekroun:

The interview took place in the Latin Quarter. We were close to the statue of Dante Alighieri, the first person to use the term transhumanism to describe the overcoming of the human condition. A transhuman is more than a man; His capabilities are enhanced by developments in technology, and he defies natural constraints and even death itself. Today, the concept of transhumanism is entangled in the modern digital culture.

Has our relationship with death changed in light of transhumanism? Are we breaking the myths about cryonics? Can we believe in a life that exceeds a mere double digits?
