We`re not the people we thought we were a few decades ago, this book argues. Not only have we been surrounded by a new technological landscape, but our very subjectivity has been transformed since information became something disembodied and virtual rather than something always embedded in a human subject. This change in the way information is imagined went hand in hand with the development of cyborg and artificial life, to create what the author calls our posthuman culture. The book makes its case through investigations of science fiction, laboratory experiments, and cybernetic theory.
