Speaking scifi, the movie “Forbidden Planet” is the most fitting here, in which an advanced civilization freed themselves from the need to use their bodies, and instead they could make things by thinking, by using the output of an incredibly powerful nuclear reactor (if i recall).

I agree that is a transhumanist movie.

Also, I am noticing that one of sci fi's really good villians is actually becoming a role model.

Who would have though in the 1980's with the cold war just ending, that in 2012 we would have a culture in which privacy is a thing of the past, that all of our thoughts and communications are in a vast network that can be monitored, addicted to communication from smart phones, and beginning to have wearable computers?
