Title : General Catastrophe Laboratory - Metaphysical and Polemic Journal 2000-2001 - Maurice G. Dantec - book

Summary :

The post-human of this early 21st century is therefore a simple animal endowed with reason. He is the super-ape capable very soon of interconnecting the cells of his brain with high-performance logic machines. In short, a chimpanzee playing with a typewriter. Suffice to say that his probabilities of producing even a line of Shakespeare, or Baudelaire, resist all orders of magnitude. Because before producing the post-human, we would still have to know how to form a man. Certainly, humanity is doomed, it has the choice between cultures without societies - therefore without (bio)politics - and nations without cultures (therefore without metaphysics); between individuals with useless, massified solitudes, and communities with absurd rights and rituals; between the intensification of the powers of cyberphotonic surveillance and genetic control of the Machine and the return to the proto-industrial "golden ages"; between the totalitarian videodrome and the hyper-spectacular riot; between simulacrum and nothingness. But what the metalocal and hyper-corporate Command Center is now undertaking is the extension of control into the internal cellular and biotopic theater of individuals, now coextensive nodes of the network of nanomachines, fissile vectors of totalized, micronized, cybernetic and iconic advertising communication. Metacritical guerrilla.
