Technophilia: A Transhumanist Zine // Call For Submissions! Issue #4
Transhumanism (H+) a movement aiming to transform the human condition by utilizing technology to enhance intellectual, physical, or psychological capabilities.
What does this mean in the context of humanity’s future? Is transhumanism “gentrification of the human body”? What type of enhancements will be available or mandated to the disabled and disenfranchised? What does this mean for the definition of gender, sexuality, or queerness? What repercussions will this have on mental health? What ways might new advancements serve to enforce, or deconstruct, power? How will this adversely or positively affect social norms and the politically oppressed? What will be the environmental impact or economic effects?
Submissions accepted in the form of poetry, short story, comic, & images.
There are no limits in subject matter; as long as it can be tied to the idea of transhumanism.
Think radical and creative! We’re looking for diverse views; beyond typical anarcho-capitalist techno-libertarianism transhumanism.
