Biotech: mutants
This is the biotech industry.
Patricia Piccinni, The Mutant Genome Project, 1995
Technoscience can now shape human nature. That is a big shift.
Science and technology shaped the landscape in the second half of the 20th Century through big enginneering works such as the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electricity Scheme. Those modernist guys are still dreaming about big dam and engineering projects to bring water down from the northern part of Australia to the southern part.
In the first part of the 21st century corporate technoscience began shaping human nature to produce human beings who are not human beings.
How do we start making sense of that paradox?
