Don Juan Rising: Man and Transhuman

Don Juan Rising: Man and Transhuman


Renfield R. Renfield the genetically created hamster/human Chief of Security and Intelligence Gathering for the London-based billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set was practicing a political speech in front of the living room's antique Louis XIV Sun King mirror much to his friend Amadeus Emanon's amusement.


A couple of years earlier, Renfield had founded the British Transhumanist Techno-Progressive Anti Bio-Conservative Party.


Unfortunately Renfield had not come up with the required number of signatures for his party to be recognized as a registered political party in Britain so he was unable to take part in recent leaders' election debates or in future leaders' election debates.


Thus not being a registered party, his candidates had to run as independent candidates in the UK's various constituencies.


Although there were not that many members of his Party running as candidates anyways.


There were only 10 other candidates running as independents on the British Transhumanist Techno-Progressive Anti-Bio Conservative Party platform throughout the United Kingdom's 650 constituencies.


Of these, 9 were thirty something in age long-haired and bearded science-fiction fans who were still living in their parents' basements.


The 10th was the Welsh Vampiress Morgana (a niece of the sorceress Morgan Le Fay) who was running as an independent on the British Transhumanist Techno-Progressive Anti Bio-Conservative Party platform against well-known far far Left backbench British Labour MP Magog Rhys Petley (who unbeknownst to his constituents and the public at large was a werewolf) in the Welsh constituency of Newbridge.


Renfield himself was running as an Independent on the British Transhumanist Techno-Progressive Anti Bio-Conservative Party platform in the constituency of London Collingwood Hills where his boss the Vampire Set's colossal mansion was located.


The constituency had been a British Conservative Party stronghold for the past 70 years.


At an all-candidates' forum in the Constituency last week, Renfield extolled the virtues of living in a society where everybody had upgraded to the new Humanity 2.0 and had become Transhuman.


"It's the next step in our human evolution," Renfield waved a copy of The Origin of Species, "Charles Darwin, if he weren't dead, would have been so proud."

Renfield said that recent developments in the fields of genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and synthetic biology would allow everyone to become Transhuman.


"Think of where technology has taken us these past 100 years," Renfield enthused, "why 100 years ago only people who lived in your own neighbourhood or own town or city might have known that you're an idiot. But today thanks to advanced technology and social networking sites such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, you now have the chance to show the entire world what an idiot you are."


The remark did not go over too well for some reason.
