Base/superstructure 
G.A. Cohen has argued that the classical base/superstructure analysis of capitalism in historical materialism relied on functional explanations: the superstructure exists and takes the form it does because it reproduces the economic base. (G.A. Cohen, Karl Marx’s Theory of History: a defense, Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1978).

Our inner lives
In this captivating book, cultural theorist Rushkoff reveals how corporations have come to dominate all aspects of life - including our inner lives - and what to do about it. In tracing the roots of corporatism from the Renaissance to today, Rushkoff reveals the way it supplanted social interaction and local commerce and came to be regarded as a pre-existing condition of our world.

... the synthesis of his mature understanding of the process beginning around 14,000 years ago challenges ecological and materialist interpretations, arguing for a quite different kind of understanding influenced by ideas of structuralist archaeologists and members of the French Annales school of historians. Defining the Neolithic Revolution as essentially a restructuring of the human mentality, expressed in terms of new religious ideas and symbols, the survey ends around nine thousand years ago, when the developed religious ideology ...

Teilhard de Chardin and transhumanism - complexification
Steinhart, E. (2008). Teilhard de Chardin and transhumanism. 
Journal of Evolution and Technology 20, 1–22. 
... Teilhard refers to the emergence of increasingly complex systems as complexification. Today we are more likely to talk about self-organization. ... degrees of complexity correspond to degrees of consciousness. (Teilhard, 1955, The Phenomenon of Man, pages 60-61, 301).
Teilhard and Kurzweil:... Teilhard’s writings outline a series of epochs of complexity. These closely resemble the six epochs of complexity described by Kurzweil (2005: 7-33). 
... Christians will increasingly pay it their attention. They may feel increasingly threatened by transhumanism and come to see it as a heresy (Bainbridge, 2005).
Various conservative Christians have already opposed transhumanism (Wiker, 2003; Hook, 2004; Daly, 2004; Hart, 2005).
