Timothy Leary, an LSD guru, wrote about him. It was foreseen by Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel. Friedrich Nietzsche would have sobbed, knowing what the idea of the superman would become. How did transhumanism become everyday, what is behind the seamy side of philosophy, and how far is the idea of artificial evolution from us?

The text said that we would have to sacrifice. We'll have to drop the rose-colored glasses. External attributes of progress are the dust that marketers scatter in every banner, in every pop-up. Progress, evolution, perfection - none of this worries us. And what worries me: political news and scandals, the latest iPhone with a billion transistors and a video card with RGB backlight.
The only danger of transhumanism is that it risks turning progress and technology into a cargo cult. However, to bow to God from the car, or to become one himself - everyone decides for himself.
