From genomics to virtual reality, technology has been changing the way human beings interact and navigate in the world at an ever increasing pace. During the last two decades, advances in technological integration are calling for special attention from thinkers across the disciplines and around the world.

As the technological characteristics of the human condition impact our understanding of “the human”, we are faced with radical changes in self-undersatnding and human identity. In short, through technology we are transforming human nature.
