Transhumanism (often abbreviated as H+ or h+) is the belief ?humanity stands to be profoundly affected by science and technology in the future? with the possibility human potential may be broadened by ?overcoming aging, cognitive shortcomings, involuntary suffering, and our confinement to planet Earth.? That definition comes courtesy of the Transhumanist Declaration from humanity+, an organization that aims ?to deeply influence a new generation of thinkers who dare to envision humanity?s next step? and publishes the quarterly magazine h+, which ?covers technological, scientific, and cultural trends that are changing ? and will change ? human beings in fundamental ways.? Any intellectual and cultural movement that is represented in text with the help of a mathematical symbol and combines the objectives of the Methuselah Foundation with technology envisioned by the Wachowski Brothers is obviously fascinating. It?s also ripe for post-apocalyptic and/or end-of-world scenario sci-fi fodder, as evidenced by Bryan Singer?s just-released original web series H+. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution today let loose the first installments of the writer/director/producer?s 48-part series four years in the making that's set to conclude in early 2013 and explores what happens when Google Glass meets nanotechnology and something goes terribly wrong.
