This research aims to investigate what futurists like Max More, Natasha Vita More, and Ray Kurzweil have introduced to us: the transhumanist philosophy which is the idea that we humans can and should use technology to overcome our biological limits, and enhance our physical and mental capacities. Scientists, researchers, and engineers today are doing exactly the same. They are trying to create advanced bionic implants and prosthetics to replace lost limbs or body parts. They work on brain-machine interfaces that could be better than both. They are experimenting with implanting information into their brains. They have genetically engineered certain cells to attack only cancer cells. And they are doing their best to understand the deep mechanisms that cause cells to break down over time, and explore ways to turn this process off which means to actually stop aging. Could we engineer superbrains for real, eternally young übermenschen (Nietzsche's idea of the superman) in the decades to come? The research also focuses, in detail, on the fundamental theme of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is human transcendence in the light of the aforementioned theory. It explores the idea that humans are putting themselves on a path to something in the future beyond anything dreamt of by our kind.
