Post-Humanism Dictionary - Biopunk Part 7 - Science Fiction

The Post-Humanism Dictionary is a guide to the language of a future where the human form—and the human condition—are no longer fixed. It captures the terminology of a world reshaped by biotechnology, where bodies are redesigned, consciousness is transferable, and the boundary between human and machine, natural and synthetic, has dissolved. Each entry examines the science, philosophy, and cultural impact behind the subgenre of Biopunk that questions what it truly means to be human. Inside, you'll find the formal vocabulary of bioengineering labs, the slang of hybrid communities, and the coded terms of those living at the fringes of post-human society. From genetic reprogramming and cyber-organic symbiosis to identity fragmentation and engineered immortality, each definition offers a lens into the possibilities and perils of transcending our biological origins. For writers, thinkers, and fans, this dictionary is both a reference and a provocation, a resource for building worlds and narratives where humanity is no longer the measure of all things. Post-Humanism - A philosophical movement that examines the post-human condition, questioning the traditional boundaries of humanity. In biopunk fiction, post-humanism often explores the possibilities of transcending biological limits through cybernetic implants, genetic modification, or merging human consciousness with machines. These narratives challenge the concepts of identity, evolution, and what it means to be human in a world where human biology is no longer a limiting factor.
