Dear Professor Piergiorgio Donatelli,

It is my honor to invite you, on behalf of the editorial team of The Annals of the University of
Bucharest, Philosophy Series, to contribute with an article to the special issue Transhumanist future
trends: a world depicted by cyborgs, bio-enhancement and gene technologies, inspired by Professor
Stefan Sorgner`s book, We have always been cyborgs (Bristol University Press, 2021). We have gathered
articles, on the following, but not restricted, topics:

 AI, brain-computer interfaces, genetic technologies, life extension

 Critical aspects of transhumanism linked with digitalization
 Human perfection, cyborgs, bio-enhancement, uploaded minds, immortality
 Pessimistic and nihilistic turns of transhumanism
 Norms, values and utopias inspired by transhumanism
 Philosophical determinations of policy-making standards for contemporary digital culture and
gene ethics
 Personal and political interests in data collection
 Panoptical effects of the virtual world
 Bio-enhancement as key-solution to reduce violence and increase empathy and solidarity
Book reviews that critically address different hermeneutical insights of Stefan Lorenz Sorgner`s
volume, We have always been cyborgs, are welcome, too.
