H+: Adventures in Transhumanism

Transhumanism (which my spell checker insists is the misspelling of transvestitism) is a movement that seeks to improve the mental and physical characteristics of humans through the liberal use of technology. It is the main subject of a new sci-fi web series that premièred just the other day.

Aptly titled H+, the digital series produced Bryan Singer (X-Men, The Usual Suspects) advances ideas like Project Glass into a future world where human beings are connected to the Internet 24 hours a day via a device planted in their bodies. While some are more than happy to accept the H+ computer into their lives, others are opposed to the technology for the fear of breaches in privacy and the ever looming threat of hackers. It’s not long before a virus outbreak kills millions of users, leaving the remaining humans to fend for themselves in an offline world.

The first two episodes were flighted on August 8th on YouTube, with a new episode due to be added every Wednesday. Have a look at these two H+ episodes after the jump.

Hamilton Carver is dead. But a deal with the devil brings the lowly P.I. back from the grave to finish the case he was working on before he got bumped off.

Hamilton Carver: Zombie P.I. is an upcoming 12-part film noir web-series that has something for everyone – guns, broads, ninjas, and zombies! Need I say more?

No word on exactly when the first episode will air, but it’ll be some time in March this year. Keep an eye out at www.hamiltoncarver.com.
