Centerpiece: The contemporary Posthuman condition

Fiction focusing on Vitalist materialism and technologically mediated society
-> Methods:
  1. Bottom up ethics
  2. A new manifesto/laws inspired by Asimov's laws
  3. Discussing/challenging the application of reasoning to ethics
    1. Discuss other foundations for developing ethics.
    2. Use these applications in the short story.
  4. I want to contrast the humanist, anti-humanist and posthumanist views on machine ethics. This inspiration comes from Verbeek's humanist    principle of contemporary technologies- technological tools as agents for human decision making. But the fiction short story I am writing is going to ultimately focus on the Post-humanist view on machine ethics- using MacCormack's "Posthuman ethics" as a guideline for bottom-up ethics. 
    1. This is where Vitalist Materialism comes into play.
