The Human Boundary Between Posthumanism and Transhumanism

In his book "Why I Want to Be a Posthuman", Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom describes the posthuman reality as follows: “You’ve just celebrated your 170th birthday and feel stronger than ever. Every day is a joy. (…) You’re communicating with your contemporaries using a language (…) that allows you to share and discuss thoughts and feelings that unenhanced humans couldn’t even conceive of or experience. When you play with your friends, you feel that every fiber of your body and mind is pushed to the limits of creativity and imagination, and you’re creating new realms of abstract and concrete beauty that humans could never (literally) dream of. You’re always ready to empathize with those who are suffering and to work hard to help them get back on their feet. (…) Things are getting better, but every day is already fantastic.”
