| Zusammenfassung: | In recent years, ideas of post- and transhumanism have been popularized by novels, TV series and Hollywood movies. According to this radical perspective, humankind and all biological life have become obsolete. Traditional forms of life are inefficient to process information and too inept at crossing the high frontier: outer space. While humankind can expect to be replaced by their own artificial progeny, post-humanists assume that they will become an immortal part of a transcendent superintelligence. Kruger's award-winning study examines the historical and philosophical context of these futuristic promises by Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, Frank Tipler, and other posthumanist thinkers. |

Traditional forms of life are inefficient to process information and too inept at crossing the high frontier: outer space. While humankind can expect to be replaced by their own artificial progeny, post-humanists assume that they will become an immortal part of a transcendent superintelligence. Kruger's award-winning study examines the historical and philosophical context of these futuristic promises by Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, Frank Tipler, and other posthumanist thinkers.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Humanism.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85062902</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Humanisme.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">humanism.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Sociology of Religion.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology of Religion</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Humanism</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Artificial Intelligence.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Frank Tipler.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Futurology.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Immortality.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Nick Bostrom.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Ray Kurzweil.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Religion.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Religious Studies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Science.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Singularity.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Sociology of Culture.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Sociology of Religion.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Sociology of Science.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Sociology.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Transhumanism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Jones, Ali.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Knight, Paul,</subfield><subfield code="d">1949-</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjKJJCpQwpWTdrqrGdTyh3</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78080480</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Krüger, Oliver</subfield><subfield code="t">Virtual Immortality - God, Evolution, and the Singularity in Post- and Transhumanism</subfield><subfield code="d">Bielefeld : transcript,c2021</subfield><subfield code="z">9783837650594</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Cultures of society (Bielefeld, Germany) ;</subfield><subfield code="v">v. 41.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019164622</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=3050882</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">De Gruyter</subfield><subfield code="b">DEGR</subfield><subfield code="n">9783839450598</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest Ebook Central</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL6742509</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">3050882</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">16702159</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

In recent years, ideas of post- and transhumanism have been popularized by novels, TV series and Hollywood movies. According to this radical perspective, humankind and all biological life have become obsolete. Traditional forms of life are inefficient to process information and too inept at crossing the high frontier: outer space. While humankind can expect to be replaced by their own artificial progeny, post-humanists assume that they will become an immortal part of a transcendent superintelligence. Kruger's award-winning study examines the historical and philosophical context of these futuristic promises by Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, Frank Tipler, and other posthumanist thinkers.
