Subject: Post-Humanity in space
Hi all, for an interesting take of post humanity in space, read Bruce Sterling's novel SCHISMATRIX. There are two big factions: Shapers (genetically enhanced) and Mechanist (prosthetic gerontocracy), some older colonies orbiting the Moon, now in decline, and several other (very odd) splinter groups. The question echoing in the background is: "what is human and what is no longer human?". Have fun :-) Ciao,
