Posthumanist Technologies

The technologies created by and for entities that have moved beyond the human condition altogether. These aren't tools for enhancement; they're the native infrastructure of a new mode of existence. Think substrate-independent minds (uploaded consciousnesses) living in simulated realities, swarm bodies of nanobots that can take any form, or direct mind-to-mind communion networks that make language obsolete. The technology isn't separate from the being; it is the being's form and environment.
Example: "The Posthuman Collective doesn't use cities; they use reality kernels—dense computational substrates running customized physics. Their main 'technology' is the consensus engine they use to vote on which shared dreamscape to inhabit for the next millennium. To us, it looks like a glowing rock." Posthumanist Technologies
