They break definitions, blur distinctions, and force us to rethink the notion of the "subject." Human No More asks how digital cultures can be integrated and how the ethnography of both the "unhuman" and the "digital" could lead to possible reconfiguring the notion of the "human."This provocative and groundbreaking work challenges fundamental assumptions about the entire field of anthropology. Cross-disciplinary research from well-respected contributors makes this volume vital to the understanding of contemporary human interaction. It will be of interest not only to anthropologists but also to students and scholars of media, communication, popular culture, identity, and technology. 606 $aAnthropology$xPhilosophy 606 $aCybernetics$xPhilosophy 606 $aOnline social networks 606 $aComputers and civilization 606 $aVirtual reality 615 0$aAnthropology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCybernetics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aOnline social networks. 615 0$aComputers and civilization. 615 0$aVirtual reality. 676 $a303.48/34 701 $aWhitehead$b Neil L$0898178 701 $aWesch$b Michael$01808156 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971727203321 996 $aHuman no more$94358264 997 $aUNINA
