What makes us human?  What is our relationship as a species to the rest of the natural world?  How have we evolved as a species and how will we continue to evolve?  How is identity being transformed by technology and consumerism?  What is becoming of our bodies in the wake of the internet and virtual reality?  Is our physicality evaporating?  Is technology ultimately a source of pleasure or pain?  In our incessant push toward invention, what sorts of monstrous havoc are we wreaking upon ourselves and the world around us?  Conversely, what sorts of wonders and miracles do evolution and invention beget?  Finally, how do we relate to one another, how do we construct a politics, in this new era of the posthuman?
