Abstract

Starting from the transhumanist phantasy of overcoming mortality, together with its dualistic conception of the human being, that imagines the eventual overcoming of the bodily, we inquire into the place of the body in the new reality forged within the dataistic ideology and digital technology. What will our conception of human being be in the post-human era?
