In store now! Posthumanism, by Mieke Mosmuller

Imagine humanity in a distant future. How would human society look like? How would human beings think? And above all, what would the human form be?

This incredible non-fiction book continues much of the work Mosmuller began in their book Singularity, instead turning their attention to the human body and all the multifarious forms it takes. A profound meditation on the connection between our psyches, and the bodies which contain them.

Singularity by Mieke Mosmuller

Paperback £16.95

These transhumanists are not prepared to delve into the meaning and significance of the physical body itself. They simply want to get rid of it, having distilled from it what is most important to them: an algorithm based on computer science, which also contains certain

creativity, as we know it in gaming. You have to be content with that creativity, further developed, of course. You then have to be happy with the unprecedented computing capacity as a basis for intelligence. Those future machine people, who will be something completely different from robots, will then take the place of biological humans.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
