The article discusses the role of technological anthropology as a future-oriented research discipline. It analyzes the impact of technology, especially transhumanist ideas, on the condition of contemporary humans and future imaginings of post-biological beings. Theoretical perspectives from cyberpsychology, philosophy of technology, and humanics are cited, which can support anthropology in studying technological development and its social, cultural, and ethical consequences. The article emphasizes the need for anthropology to engage in broad public debate about the future of humanity, confronting imaginations with scientific reality, and collaborating with scientists, artists, and society in the context of rapid technological changes. Challenges related to transhumanism, the development of artificial intelligence, and the expansion of technology require an interdisciplinary research perspective and active participation of anthropologists in shaping the future of society.
