Science and technology today spearhead discussion of a fundamental question: What does it mean to be human? At a deep level, how we think about human nature itself appears in flux under the lens of \u201ctranshumanist\u201d and \u201cposthumanist\u201d thought.Science fiction illustrates the extremes of transhuman form.
