The New Soft-Machine


The Soft Machine was published by Willaim S Burroughs in 1961. The title of the book refers to the human body.
In the present day, the possibility nanotechnology offers to ways of manipulating the human body and the way it repairs itself, how we communicate with others and with technology, increase our physical and mental abilities - all truly reframe our bodies as nothing more than a Soft Machine; an instrument to be engineered and enhanced according to our wishes and desires. It is no longer science fiction. It is happening.
