This book, Scientific Utopias in The New Atlantis and The Transhumanist Wager, examines how Francis Bacon’s 17th-century work and Zoltan Istvan’s 2013 novel depict the ideal society through the lens of scientific and technological advancement. It analyzes the concept of scientific utopia by comparing the core philosophies of both works, arguing that Bacon and Istvan shared the hope that science and technology are the ultimate means for humanity to achieve mastery over nature and eventually attain immortality. The study investigates Bacon’s vision of a strong state where all institutions serve the goal of scientific progress, and explores Transhumanism in Istvan’s novel, which advocates for the enhancement of the flawed human condition through science and technology to evolve humanity into a superior form. Ultimately, the book contends that, for both authors, placing scientific progress above politics and religion is the key to building a perfect, harmonious society and securing humanity’s future on Earth.
