Adding to the growing field of posthuman or cyborg studies,
"TechnoLogics explores how our position in the technologized world
reorders, in the most radical ways imaginable, our basic experience
of the lines governing literary, philosophical, and cultural
production. the ancient dream of immortality is now becoming
realized through cloning, genetic research, and artificial
intelligence, bringing with it the need for new forms of both
reading and living in the everyday world. In this emerging cyborg
culture, what is to come for us is not predictable but, instead, an
open possibility to be shaped by the work of, among others,
artists, computer designers, scientists, and writers. Through
encounters with Plato, Melville, Marx, Junger, Heidegger, Freud,
Derrida, Baudrillard, and others, Gray Kochhar-Lindgren identifies
the causes, characteristics, and links between the most primordial
of wishes-"immortality-"and the highest of high tech, and asks how,
in our culture of technocapitalism, we can continue to listen to
the faint call of ethics.
