Using FATE Core for a THS Campaign?

My understanding is that FATE is the "go-to" system for Transhumanist games.

There's Disaspora, Mindjammer, and the under-development official Eclipse Phase FATE version (many playtest files available online for it) ... as well as a fate version of Nova Praxis, the latter of which seems to closely mirror many tech assumptions with GURPS.

I think if you like FATE's way of handling things and its degree of abstraction, there is a ton of support for transhumanist-style games with it.

I am not comfortable with FATE myself for science fiction gaming, but this reflects my own preferences for detail regarding tactical situations, space travel, man-machine interfaces, and so on. But if that isn't a problem, there is HUGE support for transhuman gaming with Fate, more than any other system, I think.
