| Abstract | "We Have Never Been Human boldly reimagines what it means to be human, challenging the traditional notions that bind our identity to biology and culture. From ancient mythologies to modern technologies, this book reveals a dynamic, ever-evolving human identity shaped by external forces and technological advancements. Blending insights from philosophy, technology studies, anthropology, and cultural critique, We Have Never Been Human offers an interdisciplinary exploration of our constructed identities and what they portend for the future of society. It raises essential questions: How has technology reshaped our self-perception? Are humans fixed beings, or are we endlessly evolving? What ethical, social, and political challenges arise as we integrate with intelligent machines? This book is a compelling read for those intrigued by the intersection of humanity and technology, offering profound insights into the essence of what it means to be human-or perhaps, what it means to evolve beyond the human"-- Provided by publisher. |
