Anthropocene antihumanism claims that our climate destruction has doomed humanity and we should welcome our extinction. In contrast, Transhumanism believes that genetic engineering and artificial intelligence will lead to new forms of life superior to humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKirsch introduces thinkers and writers from Roger Hallam to Jane Bennett, David Benatar to Nick Bostrom, Patricia MacCormack to Ray Kurzweil, Ian McEwan to Richard Powers, offering a perspective that will make you see the current moment in a new light.
