Quote:How much Transhumanism do you think is good for Fenspace?
That's a very good question, and I wish I had an equally good answer for it. I think Fenspace as a setting is robust enough that it could handle transitioning into something transhuman - not a Singularity necessarily, but something along the lines of Nova Praxis / Eclipse Phase / pulpy Transhuman Space would fit well within Fenspace's boundaries. Eventually the combination of sorcery and transhumanism will cause Fenspace to evolve into Al Hazard... but then I suppose somebody's got to be, right?
The question might be better phrased as "how much transhumanism are the writers down with?" For myself I'm pretty happy with letting things evolve in a more transhumanist direction... but I don't see a consensus there. I'm not so sure it slams into the genre directive so much as it's something the majority of writers just aren't comfortable with. And, y'know, I grok that. Some of the stuff you guys come up with I'm not comfortable with. So I suspect the level of transhumanism is going to shift depending on the Collective's comfort level above and beyond anything else.
