"The ‘human’ appears to be in crisis.

There is a practical challenge to the constitution of humans. This challenge is diverse but comes from four main fields of contemporary science: biotechnology (especially genetic modification of human DNA); cybernetics, in particular, the connection of microchips to the human brain or central nervous system; microchip technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics; and nanotechnology.
(...)
Some, such as the transhumanists, posthumanists and extropians welcome these posthuman futures.
These technologies are an expression of the deepening of capitalist social relations and capital as social force, and so they are not innocent.
‎(Rikowski argues that) the posthumanists have misunderstood history. They have ignored capitalist development and missed the essential point: we are already not-human. We are capital."
