=== Marshall Brain's 2003 conceptual proposition for techno-utopia vs capitalist dystopia===
A techno-utopia, as hypothesized by [[Marshall Brain]] in a futuristic science-fiction novel titled "Manna", can be seen as a strong arguments for transhumanism. In the utopia, with the aid of science and technology, humans are capable of doing the following:
#Eliminating Disease - Vaccines, gene therapies, antibiotics and more have eliminated hundreds of diseases which has lessened human suffering.
#Eliminating Work - Automation lessens the work humans must do which increases human safety, productivity, and free time.
#Eliminating Crime - Brain-computer interfaces enable the automation of law enforcement which prevents crime from ever happening
#Eliminating Poverty - Automated allocation of resources combined with recycling will ensure that everyone's needs are met such as food, clothing, shelter, medical care, etc.
#Eliminating Class - Universal basic income is part of automated resource allocation
#Eliminating War - Decisions are made using science and the will of individuals on a voluntary basis, war isn't necessary.
#Maximized Happiness and Comfort - Brain-computer interfaces allow humans to watch a movie while the computer directs their body through a fitness routine. shower, tooth-brushing, etc. Machines make your clothes to fit your body, any color you like, etc. People who like farming go live and/or work on farms, others do what they like.

A techno-dystopia, which is the current, non-transhumanist paradigm, holds the following in store for humans:
#Slavery - Humans are instructed by machines in all aspects of their lives.
#Austerity - Less and less communal benefits
#Unemployment - Machines replace humans in most jobs
#Imprisonment - Humans who aren't working are imprisoned by robots in "public housing" projects.
#Trillionaires - A few people will have trillions of dollars to spend
