Your Brain, My Brain, and the Posthuman Rub
Abstract:
Interesting times lie ahead for all of us as new technologies (from revolutionary pharmaceuticals to future neuro-modifying nanobots) allow people to alter their internal operating systems at finer and finer levels. We're already facing the first vestiges of the kinds of deep existential questions that go along with this increased level of control, as a result of the proliferation of everything from antidepressants to drugs with the potential to alter learning processes in Down's syndrome.
