'''The Expanse''' is a book and TV series written by James S. A. Corey and aired by SyFy. 

== Plot ==

The series chiefly follows the crew of the Rocinante in a future where humans have managed to explore and settle the Solar System using semi-realistic fusion drives.

== Transhumanist Elements ==

* [[Space exploration]] and colonisation is a key element of the series which is portrayed with considerable accuracy with respect to our current understanding of physics
* [[Prosthetics]] - both mechanical but full limb regeneration is also around
* Various implants - 'Belters' who grow up in low-G environments often suffer from various medical consideration, so typically have various implants to compensate.
* Drugs for:
**  Extreme environments such as high G-force or visiting a world with a high G-force than you grew up with
** [[Nootropics]] drugs to enhance mental cognition in extreme situations
** Emergency panic suppression
* [[Longevity]] - mentioned during the first season when a man mentions that "The life expectancy on earth is 120 years, do you know what it is on Ceres? 68."
* A [[bionic eye]] or smart contact lenses are used for spying
* [[Cryonics]] - Is features several time for storing bodies, it's uncertain whether it's ever used as a form or emergency medicine with revival options however
* Multi-parent families - The main protagonist has eight parents
* [[Moral enhancement]], uh un-enhancement? - [[transcranial direct-current stimulation]] was used to erase some character's empathy to allow them to better perform unethical experiments for a perceived greater good

== Evolution tropes ==
The series features an alien 'proto molecule' organism which attracts endless [[oligarchic transhumanism|amoral investors]] and [[fascist transhumanism|collaborators]] to unethically use it in a series of politically destabilising experiments across the solar system. The arguably transhumanist technology is presented as dangerous, with the protagonists initially on a journey to track it down and contain it entirely.

Common [[straw transhumanist]] tropes are advocated by the antagonists such as wanting to 'become gods', preparing for the 'next phase of human evolution'. This includes the mass murder and experimentation of a remote colony of 100,000 people as well as a programme to transform children into radically transformed alien-like creatures.

Their positive transhumanist ideas advocated includes radical adaptation to alien environments such as existing in a hard vacuum or other inhospitable environment, however this is portrayed in an entirely antagonistic and unethical fashion.
