A tiny class of wealthy ubermensch who can afford cyber enhancements giving them extraordinary societal advantages on an evolutionary scale and an underclass of humans who can barely get basic healthcare.

Basically the Eloi and the Morlocks except the Eloi are like superheroes.

Sorry, I am just being pessimistic and frankly, while I am glad sight can be restored to the blind, I am leery of transhumanism.
