Subject: Post-Humanity in space
Hi all,
for an interesting take of post humanity in space, read Bruce Sterling's
novel SCHISMATRIX.
There are two big factions: Shapers (genetically enhanced) and Mechanist
(prosthetic gerontocracy), some older colonies orbiting the Moon, now in
decline, and several other (very odd) splinter groups.
The question echoing in the background is: "what is human and what is no
longer human?".
Have fun :-)
Ciao,
Matteo
