Anyone fancy becoming a 100% posthuman???



There is also a really interesting article by a guy called Gabriel Rothblatt  who is an ambassador
for some funky corporation.  http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/5671 

The movie Surrogates sounds interesting which Gabriel mentions, so in the name of research I' m now going to check it out!!! Has anyone seen it, Bruce Willis is in it.

Okay, watched the film, here is a brief review, contains plot spoilers!!! The film is about a surrogate inventor who has a change of heart about the program he invented as he feels he is responsible for the death of humankind. He created the program to help disabled people (like himself) lead a normal life. This is a sideline feature as the film focuses on the operator/surrogate binary and how society has adapted to living live through a machine. The operators (humans) don't need to leave their homes as they wear special glasses (Google glasses perhaps) in a comatose state to live their lives through their surrogates.  Security and privacy ceases to exist as surveillance is available to the authorities via codes to download minds of the surrogates. Every surrogate is slim young and attractive despite their operative appearance. There is a sub group who are against the surrogate program and refuse to engage with it. They are the human collation society who live separately with no modern resources from the rest of society. Although they and society acknowledge one another there is high animosity  as the human collation want to see the demise of the surrogates to enable the democracy of humanity. What struck me about this group was the hierarchy order that was imposed with a leader and class system. I guess some traits of humanity will never be obliterated. Despite the dubious story line, I found the graphics and evolvement  of the human species as a non emotional and social entity quite enthralling. I could picture quite clearly how society today could end up as a world like Surrogates tomorrow minus the plot. I could think of worst ways to spend 90 minutes.
