Summary

The concluding chapter provides some reflections on the values, visions and tensions that animate the transhumanist movement and technological imagination in the United States. It discusses the merits of approaching transhumanism from a comparative perspective and putting transhumanism in conversation with some classic disciplinary concerns. It considers what a posthuman future might mean for the discipline of cultural anthropology.
