"In his Foreign Policy article, Fukuyama identifies transhumanism as 'a strange liberation movement" that wants "nothing less than to liberate the human race from its biological constraints.' Sounds ominous, no? But wait a minute, isn't human history (and prehistory) all about liberating more and more people from their biological constraints? "
"Coined by the late transhumanist Alexander Chislenko, the term "fyborg" is a portmanteau of 'functional' and 'cyborg'. It refers to the utilisation of technological tools external to the body, which is supposedly a more popular notion than having surgery to implant the technology. So, while a cyborg would use a mathematical processing chip implanted into his brain, a fyborg would use a calculator or notebook computer to perform any difficult calculations. A cyborg may have an artificial eye overlaying an interface onto the world, but a fyborg may achieve the same thing by wearing high-tech glasses." (Human Enhancement and Biopolitics)
