Summary/Abstract: The article considers some gnostic motives in transhumanist writers whose ideas about the future of society were denounced as an antihuman utopia. The roots of this movement are closely related to the project of modernity and the author makes efforts to reveal some aspects of the gnostic inheritance of the last three centuries. The technological growth is driven by the anthropocentric worldview and made nature just a resource store. Nature must be transformed, and human nature too: eugenics instead of ethics
