Citizen Cyborg

Citizen Cyborg examines how emerging technologies challenge traditional notions of human identity and moral standing.

Hughes advocates for a progressive approach to transhumanism, emphasizing the importance of individual liberty, secularism, and faith in reason and progress.

The book critiques libertarian transhumanists and argues for a regulatory framework that ensures equitable access to human enhancement technologies.

It also addresses the historical skepticism of the left towards technology, making a case for a techno-optimistic yet politically progressive viewpoint.

Hughes connects the personhood debate within bioethics to the broader implications of transhumanism for society.
