The last in Tony Fry's celebrated trilogy of books continues his
radical rethinking of design. Becoming Human by Design's
provocative argument presents a revised reading of human
'evolution' centred on ontological design. Examining the relation
of design to the nature of the human species - where the species
came from, how it was created, what it became and its likely future
- Fry asserts that current biological and social models of
evolution are an insufficient explanation of how 'we humans' became
what we are. Making a case for ontological design as an
evolutionary agency, the book posits the relation between the
formation of the world of human fabrication and the making of
mankind itself as indivisible. It also functions as a provocation
to rethink the fate of Homo sapiens, recognising that all species
are finite and that the fate of humankind turns on a fundamental
Darwinian principle - adapt or die. Fry considers the nature of
adaptation, arguing that it will depend on an ability to think and
design in new ways.
