Abstract
After the eschatological ages of Gods and Men, a third actor-indicator began rearing its head in the late 20th century and more clearly at the start of the 21st century: techno-sciences (Bainbridge, 2006). Promises of a life augmented by technologies (Sadin, 2013), hopes of a body cured by biomedical advances, even prospective dreams of immortalization by genetic engineering, a new litany of utopias has appeared on the horizon of contemporary eschatologies. Under labels as varied as man–machine hybridization, androids, posthumans or transhumans, a new eschatological path has emerged.
