Transhumanism and Post-humanism

Are there any essential works on either Transhumanism or Post-Humanism?
It seems bizarre to me that such an increasingly relevant social matter seems to have a lack of writing on it. I'm also more interested in it from a philosophical view, rather than fiction (as I'm aware there are already a few Sci Fi novels that involve both).

Isn't it weird that "transgender" people aren't "transhuman" but subhuman?

Authors are way too threatened by the idea to write about it.

Me too, I asked about it here. Got some dystopian literature, but really wanted something philosophical.

Because transhumanist are often like this:
>dude technology lmao
They are barely critical of technology. I am not expecting Ted Kaczynski style critique of technology*, but the techno-optimism of "dude lmao science and technology will solve everything bro" just doesn't do it.

I am looking for some analysis with potential issues, shortcomings, benefits etc. I want to know how transhumanism fits in a world where certain resources are being depleted, how transhumanism fits into social issues and so on and so on.

*Am going to read his next book tho.

I know a lot who wrote on that, but in French.

I thought this was pretty good.

>Ted Chu, PhD
You know there's something wrong when the author waves his status to gather validation.

Haven't read her, but Donna Haraway wrote a Cyborg Manifesto and a book called Simians, Cyborgs, and Nature, both are supposed to be interesting.m

Yeah, I can see that. A thoughtful editor/publisher might have picked that up. I feel like a lot of more medical-side doctors do this (for good and ill). Still though, it's a good read. I was way into transhumanism in the summer and this was what I was looking for.

I would also recommend this, although it's not so much in a science-fiction vein as it is a continental philosophy sense. The manifesto at the end was very thought-provoking.
