Tattoos and transhumanism
Teia takes the reins in this episode of The Gifted Kid Complex, as she and Cher attempt to tackle what it feels like living in a body with (hopefully) some success. We contemplate some of the science behind transhumanism, and some of the fiction behind it too, and the scope of what it could do for us in the not so far future.
Teia’s quote of the day: ‘Why should our bodies end at the skin, or include at best other beings encapsulated by skin?’
Donna Haraway, ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’
