New Organs of Perception, Susana Soares
New Organs of Perception, Susana Soares
New advances in areas such as genetics, biotechnology and nanotechnology are changing our very nature, not in a way that we can perceive, not as an act of natural selection or evolution, but due to technology. How is this going to change our behaviours and what are the implications?
In a near future, people could be equipped with organs that would enhance their perceptions allowing them, amongst other things, to have brushy nails that will scrap genetic information while touching.
Who’s going to use them and what for? In which situations do we need them?
