"that serious joking relationship .. 'this can't possibly be what they mean, and yet, it appears to be' .. the outrageous but nonetheless true scandal of what is."

she mentioned cloning dogs, cryogenic freezing, HAM cyborg and the kinds of imported mythologies we see in everyday technological commercials. disregarding any metaphorical difficulty of understanding thelanguage, what's not to like? who else talks about these things without a lame focus on morality or pragmatic concerns?

Why would anyone read "The Manifesto for Cyborgs?" What's the point? Please, enlighten me?

[FacsimileSmiles]

This makes reading "The Manifesto for Cyborgs" so much easier...
