Dystopian transhumanism
Dystopian transhumanism is a popular portrayal of transhumanist societies and technologies in science fiction.
Whilst it's not always possible to tell the differences between fascist transhumanism and oligarchic transhumanism this is possible if you break things down by theme.
Reactive or anarcho-transhumanism will typically stand opposed to either approach whatever that might be.
