Transhumanist

Cultural base exploring radical post-human biological or digital upgrades, systemic future-shock, and the redefinition of identity.

The thrill of future-shock as humanity grapples with its own obsolescence. The existential dread of losing one's self to technological advancement, or the exhilaration of transcending biological limitations.
