Transhumanism (as a fictional genre, not as a philosophy) is about the idea that we can use technology to overcome the problems inherent to human nature, while cyberpunk is about the idea that we can’t.

I propose a new form of philosophy called “Cyberpunk Luddism.” The idea comes from reading a blog post on Kagi Small Web about Molly’s Guide to Cyberpunk Gardening. In it, they mention the interesting quote above, that I have tracked down the original source from 2009. Stephen Lea Sheppard on RPG.net
