"Techno-oligarchy is not an ideological movement, and techno-oligarchs differ on how political power should be wielded; yet several traits, taken together, form a tacit ideological core. In this view, what its adherents call “technological progress” takes precedence over the fate of humankind. Humanity has no value in itself: humans are weighed on the same scale as inanimate objects, by a single measure – their usefulness to “progress”. Humanity, moreover, will not inherit the advanced stages of that progress; that will be the fate of transhumanity, a fusion of human and machine."
