Transhuman
Transhumanism argues that technology can push the human body past its natural limits, and this film lays out what that already looks like. It follows a man fitted with a bionic arm that can register touch, and a scientist developing a brain implant meant to let paralyzed patients move again. From there the film moves into more speculative territory: researchers working toward transferring human consciousness into a computer, in effect building a digital copy of a person that could keep running after the body dies. Alongside the hardware, the film raises the practical questions that come with it, starting with who can afford these enhancements and whether they widen the gap between rich and poor, plus the risk of hacking or attacks on people whose bodies now run on code. It treats immortality-by-upload as a real research goal rather than science fiction, without claiming the technology is finished. The throughline is a species deciding, implant by implant, how far it wants to rebuild itself.
