Synopsis
Technology is evolving faster and faster. Not surprising when you know that more scientists are doing research today than in the rest of history combined, using superior instruments and communication tools. But instead of making life more comfortable, more and more scientists in the fields of genetics, artificial intelligence, brain research and nanotechnology take their goals one step further: to overcome human limits and create higher, transhuman, forms of life.
While others raise the alarm, some scientists want to speed up the advances to become part of this transhuman era, to be alive when immortality will be at hand, to become superhumans themselves, to become gods. Is this an updated version of age old religious dreams to liberate us from our human condition or are we for the first time confronted with the prospect to turn these dreams into reality?
