Summary

What is transhumanism? Is it different from technocracy? What about posthumanism?

Where do these ideas originate, and how have they become so prominent today?

In this week's solo show, we look at the history of some mostly-insane ideas and explore their significance for today's magical folk. Join Gordon as we continue our series looking at the arrival and impact of AI from the perspective of a living cosmos.

Enjoy!
