Nanotechnologies as Transhumanist Technologies
Damour, Franck
Nanotechnologies as Transhumanist Technologies - 2018.
70
Transhumanism has played a role in the structuring and growth of nanotechnology at the beginning of the 21st century. Upstream, one of the figures of the transhumanist movement, physicist Eric Drexler, was decisive in the development of the nanotechnology project. Downstream, sociologist William Sims Bainbridge has been an important player in mobilizing public and private capital for its implementation. What role does transhumanism play in these industrial projects? In what ways? How does such utopia is linking with American capitalism?
