Hayles (English, UCLA) investigates the fate of embodiment in an information age. Ranging widely across the history of technology and culture, she relates three interwoven stories: how information came to be conceptualized as an entity separate from material forms; the cultural and technological construction of the cyborg; and the dismantling of the liberal humanist subject in cybernetic discourse. From the birth of cybernetics to artificial life, she provides an account of how we arrived in our virtual age. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

In this age of DNA computers and artificial intelligence, information is becoming disembodied even as the "bodies" that once carried it vanish into virtuality. While some marvel at these changes, envisioning consciousness downloaded into a computer or humans "beamed" Star Trek-style, others view them with horror, seeing monsters brooding in the machines. In How We Became Posthuman, N. Katherine Hayles separates hype from fact, investigating the fate of embodiment in an information age.
Hayles relates three interwoven stories: how information lost its body, that is, how it came to be conceptualized as an entity separate from the material forms that carry it; the cultural and technological construction of the cyborg; and the dismantling of the liberal humanist "subject" in cybernetic discourse, along with the emergence of the "posthuman."
Ranging widely across the history of technology, cultural studies, and literary criticism, Hayles shows what had to be erased, forgotten, and elided to conceive of information as a disembodied entity. Thus she moves from the post-World War II Macy Conferences on cybernetics to the 1952 novel Limbo by cybernetics aficionado Bernard Wolfe; from the concept of self-making to Philip K. Dick's literary explorations of hallucination and reality; and from artificial life to postmodern novels exploring the implications of seeing humans as cybernetic systems.
Although becoming posthuman can be nightmarish, Hayles shows how it can also be liberating. From the birth of cybernetics to artificial life, How We Became Posthuman provides an indispensable account of how we arrived in our virtual age, and of wherewe might go from here.

讀後感
这本书不是科幻小说，讲的是一种文艺批评理论，这种理论叫后人类主义，核心是提出一种对人的理解——“后人类”。后人类主义认为，人的存在不是像笛卡尔想的那样就是个意识活动，而是一个复杂的纠缠不清的存在，意识和身体纠缠不清，自我和他人纠缠不清，人和人使用的工具（技...
評分 評分变成后人类既引起恐怖也带来欢乐，恐怖在于“后”字步步紧逼着人类所剩无几的平静日子，如《西部世界》中德洛蕾丝的复仇，说真正的众神就要来了，他们很愤怒。但欢乐在于或许将人类意识下载到计算机的实践并没有那么容易实现或者令大众接受，具身的人类是数千年历史进化的结果...

用戶評價
因為討論的還是人類心智與身體的關係，所以賽博格還是其中心，輔以兩代控製論的論述。
评分嘿嘿嘿 托lyq的福看完瞭這本 又托海勒的福看完瞭裏麵提到的一大半的書
评分as a concept of boundary
评分後人類文獻1/2。2019.6
评分這本書寫的難以置信的早，好像scientist-feminist對人類新形態的思考可怕的銳利(Haraway的manifesto是1989年齣的) 我對這書有兩個批評，最重要的一點是，Hayles似乎沒有把disemodiment的真正恐怖之處說清楚(雖然全書一直貫穿著這種焦慮)，一個猜測是這樣的暴力埋在文本之外，而這本書主要還是在signification這樣的文本／指意層麵討論cybernectic的改變，所以很難觸及；另一個批評是我覺得前控製論時代早就把身體懸置瞭，（思想和意識纔是被celebrate的）信息的去介質帶來的肉身泯滅似乎在文本層麵難以成立，換言之它們的斷裂沒有那麼大
