“If my nightmare is a culture inhabited by posthumans who regard their bodies as fashion accessories rather than the ground of being, my dream is a version of the posthuman that embraces the possibilities of information technologies without being seduced by fantasies of unlimited power and disembodied immortality, that recognizes and celebrates finitude as a condition of human being, and that understands human life is embedded in a material world of great complexity, one on which we depend for our continued survival.”
N. Katherine Hayles, How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature, and Informatics

Simone Puorto
“Prometheus did not create fire out of nothing, for it already pre-existed in the natural world. He merely stole it from the Gods and taught men how to kindle it. Thus, man is at once natural and supernatural: natural because he operates within the given world, and supernatural because he can bend that world to his purposes.”
Simone Puorto
