It represents the beginning of the most dramatic shift in human consciousness since the invention of writing: a smooth, quiet ramp-up to posthuman cognition through an utter detonation of the divisions between mind, software, networks, and society. The particulars of our cybernetic revolution are hard to predict with certainty, but we can say this for sure: the future will be a strange place indeed.
