Dan Brown refers to Transhumanism on page 453 of this novel, and Transhumanist is his villain, Zobrist. Transhumanist believe humans should use our technology, our science and emerging philosophies to create superhumans.
Mavellonialism is more natural--we need not genetic engineering, and all the other goodies to enhance human nature; we only need to use the superhuman abilities that we already possess to grow into living angels.
These artificial enhancement may be ethically acceptable, but we want to move slow.
