More broadly, questions concerning the complex relationships between society, technology, and ethics are widely explored. Major thinkers such as St. Augustine, Nietzsche, Bertrand Russell, and C. S. Lewis are enlisted to highlight and support the major arguments presented by the author. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book aims at a general readership interested in the current claims and possible outcomes of the Transhumanist and Posthumanist movement. It strikes a cautionary note about humanity's reliance on emerging technologies, particularly their potential to enhance and, eventually transform, human life span, cognition, and emotion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Corjescu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838216989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838216980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Dan Corjescu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078866858239,"sku":"9783838216980","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5dd4ce58-ecd1-4a67-8658-97e00f3c4f3d.jpg?v=1685477979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prometheus-unbound-9783838216980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
