Futurism is a term referring to
writers of speculative
fiction,
scientists, and
philosophers who propose and promote alternative technologically-advanced lifestyles based on the latest scientific discoveries. They tend to share interests in
life extension,
artificial intelligence,
robotics,
cryonics, the search for
extraterrestrial life, genetic engineering, and
nanotechnology all as means to enhance human
evolution. As a result, many contemporary futurists call themselves "transhumanists." Futurists often confront traditional ethical systems based on
religion.
