'''Anarcho-transhumanism''' is a political philosophy synthesizing [[anarchism]] and [[transhumanism]].
Proponents of anarcho-transhumanism oppose what they perceive to be tyranny of [[state]], [[capitalism]], and support the [[human evolution|evolution of biological humanity]].
Anarcho-transhumanism, as defined by [[Aaron Rowe]] is necessary because of two inescapable truths about technology. First, in the event of a technological [[singularity]], or even any serious advance in technology, people in the first world would theoretically no longer have any needs; products and food could be produced from sunlight and dirt by [[nanabots]], bringing an end to the economic paradigm known throughout all of human history. Combined with [[techlepathy]] allowing for a perfect democracy, a centralized government would be also be rendered obsolete.
Rowe also points out that technology always benefits the rich and powerful first, a position also taken by [[Theodore Kazinsky]]. In the event of a technological singularity, it is unlikely that the old government and economic systems would simply roll over and collapse simply because they are no longer relevant; they would more likely hoard the technology to maintain their power. Essentially, the elite would become almost godlike in power when compared to the rest of mankind.
Anarcho-transhumanism is also known as '''transhumanist anarchism'''.
