A form of transhumanism, body modifications are made to enhance the human form.
Advancing Humanity: The Journey of Bionics
Looking deeply into nature through the lens of science, designers extract principles, processes, and materials that form the basis of design methodology. Nature not only inspires design but also drives it forward. From synthetic constructs resembling biological materials to computational methods emulating neural processes, the interplay between nature and design is evident. In realms such as genetics, regenerative medicine, and synthetic biology, designers are developing novel technologies unforeseen by nature.

NeuraLink: An issue of agency
When Elon Musk announced that his new company Neuralink, was going to be working on a implantable device that would aim to provide an Neuro-interface that could possibly help those with severe Neurological damage or conditions like Paraplegia regain movement in their arms and legs, there was a lot of positive response from the wider community, but for disabled people ourselves, the response was far more complicated.

Assassin - Under Contract. Content Warning.
Of course my name is Raven. What else could it be? When you're born with a shock-full of coal black hair and never lost it and it falls past your cute little ass, and it never went through lighter phases in childhood, and even if you have a normal name, it's always Raven. When you have a pointed chin, what they think is cute to call "elfin ears" (bleh!), and even though my eyes were bright blue even after the cyborg modification, it was always Raven. It was the first name I spelled out on the lined paper in school, it was the name I used when I doodled "Raven loves Johnnie" on the cover of my science book, and when I grew older, it was the name I carved into the buttocks of my first victim. He got to live, though the second one didn't. It was a bit easier to carve with a knife by that point, to make the "adjustments" to a person's body required when I took the contract. But the money's more than just good, I get to play with fun toys, and I get to choose my contracts. I'm a freelancer, unlike those poor schlobs in the police force.

The Impact of Futurism on Technology and Innovation
Futurism, as an artistic and social movement, emerged in the early 20th century, focusing on the dynamism, speed, energy, and power of modern technology and its impact on society. However, the concept of futurism extends beyond art and literature; it also influences technological advancements and innovations. This article explores the profound impact of futurism on technology and innovation, shaping the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us.

This Is What Will Happen in the Next Billion Years
In the 200,000 years that humans have lived, our species has undergone amazing changes. Our journey has changed significantly from our beginnings in Africa to our current state of exploration of the cosmos. But what would it be like thousands or maybe millions of years from now, in the far future?

Humanity's Firewall - Fractured Reality
The news was abuzz with the unveiling of "Neosense," a neural implant promising augmented reality beyond imagination. Images of people experiencing vibrant worlds overlaid on their senses, tasting virtual food, feeling the caress of a digital breeze, flooded every screen. I, however, remained skeptical.
