Katherine N. Hayles, How We Became Post Human
MCulloch-Pitts Neuron:
Denied parentage and bodily connection, the child of Dystopia Inc. becomes divorced from meaning and context. The child becomes a product of the machine. The child is the machine. This is the hope of the corporation. But when the child realizes and experiences his or her disembodiment, is this type of understanding a product of the machine programmed mind? The theory of cybernetics, in relation to the workings of the human mind, becomes complicated within my narrative. As thought and reception of information becomes more grounded in reflexivity and context, connection between logical form and embodiment within the virtual space begins to slip.
