    Not so much reading (unless you turn the subtitles on), but the Xbox 360/PS3 era video game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. All Deus Ex covers transhumanism: it’s about a society in which people replace organic body parts for mechanical or technological parts. Much like Cyberpunk 2077, which does almost everything DXHR does but better, but DXHR really gets into the philosophy of altering your body, and also the philosophy of refusing to do so. And wouldn’t ya know it, the company making the “augmentations” also sells the drug that, if you don’t take it regularly, your body rejects the implants, and this is by design? (But not your character because he was made by the company, so he doesn’t need the drug.)

    Not sure if that fits the bill or not. It is more entertainment than educational, if it is that at all.

    I don’t really follow a lot of politics either, so I’m not 100% sure or confident in the definitions of these things.
