Whoever is true, it truly is assumed that our technological successor might be an upgraded or degraded model people: Human 2.0.
Posthuman Life argues that the enhancement debate tasks a human face onto an empty monitor. we don't recognize what's going to ensue and, no longer being posthuman, can't count on how posthumans will examine the realm. If a posthuman destiny won't unavoidably be told by means of our type of subjectivity or morality the bounds of our present wisdom needs to tell any moral or political overview of that destiny. Posthuman existence develops a serious metaphysics of posthuman succession and argues that just a actually speculative posthumanism can aid an ethics that meets the problem of the transformative power of technology.
