This book offers a comprehensive reflection on the existential condition of the 21st century. A visionary introduction to existential posthumanism it takes the form of eight meditations of posthuman self-inquiry. Existential posthumanism embraces the question 'Who am I?' in relation to: 'Where When and Why are We?'. This journey of self-discovery engages with a wide range of knowledge and expertise - from ancient paths of wisdom to the latest developments in science and biotechnologies from Paleolithic times to the futures of radical life extension. The book declutters the habit of being human: as individuals as societies as a species. Letting go of the need for anthropocentric mastery and species-specific ambitions the reader emerges regenerated. Being posthuman in the 21st century entails awareness of inter-being: from our symbiotic co-evolutions to the rights of Nature from the geological time of the Anthropocene to the rise of Big Data and artificial intelligence. In ecology biology technology and ontology the manifold paths of posthuman self-realization will reveal that we are all co-creators in the existential unfolding: our lives are our ultimate works of art. The Art of Being Posthuman is a self-help guide to navigate our brave new world.
