planets outside our solar system
NASA and MIT will search for habitable planets out there. Yes good.
I want to go.
the relation between organism and machine has been a border war
Our machines are disturbingly lively, and we ourselves frighteningly inert.
Our best machines are made of sunshine; they are all light and clean because they are nothing but signals, electromagnetic waves, a section of a spectrum, and these machines are eminently portable, mobile — a matter of immense human pain in Detroit and Singapore. People are nowhere near so fluid, being both material and opaque. Cyborgs are ether, quintessence.
High-tech culture challenges these dualisms in intriguing ways. It is not clear who makes and who is made in the relation between human and machine. It is not clear what is mind and what body in machines that resolve into coding practices.
Biological organisms have become biotic systems, communications devices like others.
