<p><b>Новая страница</b></p><div>'''Techno-utopianism''' or '''technological utopianism''' is an ideology based on the premise that advances in science and technology may eventually bring about a utopia (a "perfect society"<ref>[https://web.mit.edu/m-i-t/science_fiction/jenkins/jenkins_1.html Technological Utopianism]</ref>), or at least help to fulfil a utopian ideal.<br />
== Historical ==<br />
19th and 20th century liberal thinkers like Karl Marx believed the power of technology would end the eras of kings and the church. The later association of the idea with [[eugenics]] and world war 2 led to the term falling out of favour for some time.<br />
== Contemporary ==<br />
The rise of a [[Silicon Valley]] anti-authoritarian counter-culture in the computing industry and science fiction<ref>https://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3115&context=etd</ref> led once again to the idea that technology could increase personal freedoms and issue in an new era. [[Crypto-anarchism|Crypto-anarchists]] and affiliates such as Julian Assange would take the idea of technology as a tool against government oppression to its logical conclusion.<br />
<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
Critics of the idea, as well as the related idea [[techno-optimism]], cite its lack of social policy and environmental concerns as well as the risk of [[Oligarchic transhumanism|unequal access to technologies]].<br />
<br />
Many transhumanists are, or are perceived as technological utopians, as well as [[technophilia|technophiles]]. As such, perceived uncritical support for the assumed [[transhumanist inevitablism|inevitable]] benefits technology will bring without corresponding [[Technoconservatism|caution towards new technologies]] can increase [[Technoscepticism|scepticism]] towards the movement. [[Transhumanism as a religion]] is a common criticism.<br />
<br />
In [[The Transhumanist Reader]], [[Natasha Vita-More]] challenges the misconception that transhumanists want to live in a static utopian posthuman world, instead emphasising the need for continual change, a concept known as [[extropia]].<ref>https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=YeFo_20rfz0C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false IV - Misconceptions</ref><br />
