Type: article
Abstract: The popularization of the ideas of modern transhumanism, most clearly expressed in the Human Enhance-ment project, is actively carried out in popular culture through certain types of art: literature, cinema, animation, etc. In particular, in fiction, these ideas are reflected in such areas as cyberpunk, fantasy, mystery novel with elements of thriller and intellectual detective. Among the authors specializing in mystical and paranormal ide-as, D. Brown, who devoted a number of best-selling books to the modern transhumanist movement and its in-dividual ideologists, applying elements of game theory and author’s methods of interpreting historical events and facts. A special place in this series is occupied by the novel “Inferno”, which rather openly highlights specif-ic names, definitions, concepts, as well as projects of transhumanism, but with D. Brown’s inherent craving for a symbolic form of interpretation of the storyline.
