Abstract

The theme of biohacking as one of the directions of transhumanism philosophy and cultural phenomenon, including convergent technologies to improve human biological quality is revealed. The culturological problem of using personal data of a person in microchipping technologies is raised. The spectrum of implementation of these technologies in the culture of biochipping is considered, as well as forecasts and consequences of the processes that condition the unification (homogeneity) of world development, which can lead to the unity of civilisational progress, i. e. integral civilisation, and the loss of each person’s sense of his own uniqueness and rights to personal life.
