Abstract

In the novel "That Hideous Strength," C.S. Lewis anticipates the danger of a techno-progressive ideology aiming to radically transform the human species. Transhumanism, inheritor of these views, envisions a future where humanity modifies itself to surpass biological limits and achieve immortality, with the "Singularity" as the convergence point between human and artificial intelligence. The Mormon Transhumanist Association seeks to reconcile transhumanism with religious faith, interpreting "exaltation" as becoming like God through scientific and technological progress.
