Homo futurus

 

 

 

 

 

Theatre trilogy

 

 

The self-evolution of people over the next 100 years - a possible future scenario

 

  • Homo profectus
  • Homo transhumanus
  • Homo posthumanus

 

  • From modern humans (the humanoids) to genetically-modified people
  • From genetically-modified people to people modulated through medical technology (the transhumanoids)
  • From people modulated through medical technology to humanoid robots (the androids)
  • From androids to super intelligence without a link to a biological or abiological substrate (the morphoids)

 

Willaka’s development process seems to be the logical consequence of human and artificial intelligence. The family’s career can also be interpreted as a self-destructive action of dangerous self and world-changers.

 

Many different partial aspects of the future scenario are dealt with in a dramatic fashion:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Ectogenesis
  • Germline intervention
  • Gene design
  • Awareness level of artificial intelligence and its consequences
  • Trans- and posthumanism
  • Personal and societal upheavals
