Transhumanist UK invites collaboration to enhance the metro map of transhumanism – the classification of the different ideas and practices within the broad spectrum of transhumanism and related initiatives.
Transhumanism is a big subject. It’s based around some simple ideas, but there is lots of variation between different transhumanist projects. These project exist within a larger Venn diagram that also includes Self Modification, Longevism, Posthumanism, and Futurism.
The diagram shown above was constructed by Chris Monteiro, one of the co-founders of Transhumanist UK. Chris was the featured guest on the latest episode of the Humanity Unshackled podcast – an episode devoted to exploring the concepts that are included in the taxonomy of transhumanism.

The diagram – which Humanity Unshackled host Rusty Burridge has dubbed “the subway metro map of transhumanism” – is one of the entry points to the online H+Pedia wiki. The declared purpose of H+Pedia is
to spread accurate, accessible, non-sensational information about transhumanism, futurism, radical life extension and other emerging technologies, and their potential collective impact on humanity.
H+Pedia is a collaborative volunteer project. Transhumanist UK encourages our friends and supporters to help update and improve the information it contains. Every little helps!
If you’re already familiar with Wikipedia, you should find yourself quickly at home with H+Pedia, since it uses the same underlying software engine.
Guiding principles for content in H+Pedia are described here.
There’s also a “community portal” here, for active and prospective editors of content.
We look forward to welcoming you onto that site!
