Question: How will the artificial intelligence and biotech revolutions lead to a post-human future? Consider the points of view of: Fortran McCyborg-a cyborg designed as advocate for artificial intelligence; Nonette Naturski-a naturalistic philosopher and humanist; Sophia Naturski-the twelve-year-old daughter of Nonette; Becket Geist-a romantic philosopher with leanings toward contemporary science; Tonisha Tolliver-a psychologist; Wilfrid Abducto-a pragmatist philosopher. Their philosophical conversations include topics such as: The human migration to the cyber world; The spiritual nature of intelligent machines; When a simulation becomes the thing simulated; Life’s worth; Human obsolescence; Unnatural history; The role for humans in the post-human era. Remaining question: What is your place in these conversations?
