I would venture to say that transhumanism will be the path and goal of the capital class, as that will be a tangible advantage potentially within their grasp.

I suppose then that they would become “homo sapiens sapiens sapiens” or some other similarly hubris laden label, and go on to abandon, dominate or subjugate the filthy hordes of mere Homo sapiens sapiens.

Yes, a theme in cyberpunk SF, but also in much older works, such as CS Lewis's That Hideous Strength.
