PAPER PROMPT: What does it mean to be human in a world that works at a scale and speed beyond human comprehension? Scientific and technological advancements develop at speeds to which we cannot attend. Information develops at an exponential rate. Medicine targets our brain chemistry and our longevity and from intelligent mechanical prosthetics to xenotransplants affect who we are. In such a world do we change what it means to be human? In other words, are we already posthuman? How do we fit or not in such a world?

I strongly recommend first starting with reading the attached Paper Assignment word.doc. This is an accumulated list of requirements for the paper.  I need help with this final paper. I loved the readings, and articles that the professor provided, and my favorite is a Disgrace by Coetzee. Short and gruesome work. Anyways, the minimum number of readings that need to be cited in the paper is 4, plus the book of your choice 5 readings to be cited in Chicago style. I have attached all the needed readings to choose from. Badmington is a sort of a must number one to go article as he explains posthumanism. I liked Stiegler’s article about the future of technology. But it is all up to you how you construct the paper and what reading list you will go with in the paper. The professor is very peculiar and I’m at the loss. Please read carefully the Paper Assignment and do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I need your help with this one.
