Transhumanism & Digital Identity
Episode 8: Notes
In this episode of Between Shelves, we explore the intriguing world of Transhumanism and Digital Identity. As technology continues to evolve, so does our understanding of what it means to be human. How do advancements in AI, biotechnology, and virtual spaces reshape our sense of self and identity? What role does Transhumanism play in redefining the boundaries between the physical and the digital, the organic and the synthetic? Join us as we explore these questions, examining the philosophical, ethical, and cultural implications of living in an increasingly digital and augmented world. From the promises of enhanced humanity to the challenges of virtual identities, this conversation unpacks how technology transforms not just how we live, but who we are.
