FM-2030
#1
Since OA's a transhumanist hard sci-fi space opera, you'd probably want to know who the heck exactly coined the term "transhumanist". Well, that person's FM-2030, an Iranian-born futurist and the 1st self-described transhumanist. Instead of writing an essay about who he was, I'll post links to essays and videos about him. After reading and watching these items, you may discuss about this interesting man.
