The Promotion of Transhumanism in Modern Bestsellers Based on the Example of D. Brown’s Novel “Inferno”

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.
