GET FULL ACCESS TO ALL LEGALISE FREEDOM CONTENT HERE In a follow-up to our previous interview Transhumanism: Man's Scientific Rise to Godhood , Aaron Franz returns to discuss transhumanism and popular culture. This is a two part interview. Part one is here Whether prophecy, predictive programming or outright propaganda, cinema, television and literature both past and present are rife with visions of a future in which humanity is transformed, enslaved or even annihilated by technology run amok. Science fiction, fantasy and other speculative forms foresee a time when robots, cyborgs and genetically engineered supermen manipulate the masses, artificial intelligence arises to rival and even surpass human intelligence, and humanity finally merges with machines to achieve Godlike immortality. It's a dream to some, a nightmare to others. From Brave New World to Blade Runner, from The Machine to Metropolis, and from Star Trek to The Six Million Dollar Man, we explore the hopes, fears, threats and promises of a future in which being human may no longer be enough. www.theageoftransitions.com Bumper music: Cliff Martinez 'Traffic OST' Brad Fiedel 'Terminator 2' OST Hawkwind 'Utopia'
