Dear All,
Please find below info about a wee lecture I¹m giving in a couple of weeks.
It may appeal to some of you. We¹re hoping to live stream, but it¹d be great
to see some friendly faces from afar.
Posthuman Lifestyles: Has the Future Arrived?
Inaugural lecture of Professor Andy Miah
University of the West of Scotland
23 March, 2010 @ the CCA, Glasgow, 6pm (arrivals)

ed/
The year 2010 marks the 10-year anniversary of two technological revolutions
the genetic and the digital. It is also one of the most prominent years
projected as Œthe future¹ in 20th century science fiction. Professor Miah¹s
inaugural lecture will discuss his contribution to imagining the future and
critiquing the present, by outlining the successes and failures of an
emerging technological culture that marks the end of humanism.
