Abstract

Chapter 7 Algorithmic Tumult and the Brilliance of Chelsea Manning Matthew Fuller The term posthuman is sometimes used to denote a supercession of the human by means of multiple kinds of enhancement: with the brain and sensual organs becoming part of a service core providing key emotional, reflexive and phenomen- ological glue to a more advanced cognitive, immunological and performance- enhanced superstructure. Sleek persons with complex electromagnetic auras perform labour, proceduralise compensatory erotic behaviours, and divine impor- tant subatomic truths with a glance of their analytically enhanced irises. In the future they will have gone through so many upgrades that not even their souls have an end-user license agreement to neutrally click “okay” on every time they awake to feel their veins squirted with artisan meta-smoothie. Frankly, that this is not the kind of posthuman discussed here in this chapter is a bit of a let down. The perfect future of heightened productivity and emails that are largely attended to by an enhanced sub-processing unit of neural tissue in the lower intestine has got a lot going for it. In this version of the posthuman, much of what is in the vapoury prospectus, alongside the buckets of vitamin pills
