PR-Transhumanism Theory Research

超人类主义不仅是一个抽象的信念，即我们通过科技手段来超越我们的生理极限；它也是一个重新评估全部传统认知上的人类困境的尝试。

——尼克·博斯特罗姆，“什么是超人类主义”

For transhumanism is more than just an abstract belief that we are about to transcend our biological limitations by means of technology; it is also an attempt to re-evaluate the entire human predicament as traditionally conceived. And it is a bid to take a far-sighted and constructive approach to our new situation.

生物学上并无证据表明死亡是不可避免的终点……我相信生物学家们定会发现衰老和死亡的本质原因，并将人类的肌体从这个寰宇恶疾中解放出来。这只是个时间问题。

——理查德·费曼 ，1965年诺贝尔物理学奖获得者

'But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death.' This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable, and that it is only a matter of time before the biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble and that terrible universal disease or temporariness of the human’s body will be cured.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a dystopian science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick, first published in 1968.

The novel is set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco, where Earth's life has been greatly damaged by a nuclear global war, leaving most animal species endangered or extinct. The main plot follows Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter who is tasked with "retiring" (i.e. killing) six escaped Nexus-6 model androids, while a secondary plot follows John Isidore, a man of sub-par IQ who aids the fugitive androids.
