Post Media Human Modern: How Nature Was Finished When It Invented the Human Brain.

Media are the means to the evolution of posthumanity through their ever-intensifying feedback loop with our cognitive apparatus. They are also the expression of the universal human urge to exchange subjectivities, to achieve a form of telepathy. This article explores two images of the posthuman illu...

      ab: Media are the means to the evolution of posthumanity through their ever-intensifying feedback loop with our cognitive apparatus. They are also the expression of the universal human urge to exchange subjectivities, to achieve a form of telepathy. This article explores two images of the posthuman illustrating these concepts: Bruce Sterling's Lobsters from his story 'Cicada Queen', and the floppy, button-pushing prone being Derrida portrays in Of Grammatology. The path to these creatures is charted through our progressive conquest of the electromagnetic spectrum by technologies, and the Derridean dialectic between linear and non-linear writing in a feedback loop, through culture, with our brains.
