Why is it important?

Transhumanism has become a major component of contemporary culture, from scientific discoveries to pop culture (e.g. movies like Her and Ex Machina). While transhumanism is largely implicit in human behavior, it is nearly universal to humankind. Understanding it, therefore, is crucial to understanding the human development and appropriation of technology.
