“Fuck Hollywood.  And fuck this virus. I’ve stopped caring.  We never really even see it, but it’s the best actor in the film so far.” It’s probably incredibly trite to start of a review of Soderbergh’s Contagion with the phrase: “it all starts with a cough.† But it does, and boy does Lady Martin look […]
I must brag that Rob Spence — whose eyeborgian experience is now a much lauded documentary associated with Dues Ex Revolution’s latest cyberpunk/transhumanist release — was in an edition of H+ magazine that I edited two years ago… although the full props go to Kristi Scott for bringing in the article. Magazine here. Article also […]
I wrote a line on the Acceler8or Facebook page that went ‎”I look for the ‘dirty’ uses of technology, and then trace backwards from them to the ‘pristine’ uses.” R.U. wanted me to explain that line a little more and discuss exactly what I meant by it. So I’d like to start by discussing […]
“Jesus was resurrected so now they eat him. Cryonics folks are going to resurrect, too, just like Jesus. Put 2 + 2 together. Jesus tastes delicious to wafer-eating cannibals, so they’re thinking, cryonic resurrectors = yummy!” Anthropophagusaphobia. That’s my anxiety disorder. Fear of cannibals.

“… why should anyone want to participate in an infinite unending marketplace. What kind of human being sees that as the ultimate goal?” A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by AnonymousSquared — a fellow who had read somewhere that I was thinking about writing a book titled “Steal This Singularity.“ (I’ll be […]
Consider the Pandora IPO. A few months back this really crappy radio app got $2.6 billion! … the company must assume that we all want to hear those same six songs by our favorite artists over and over again. Taking a break from the usual far out futurism, psychedelic explorations and what have you… and […]
Cyber security has come front and center recently with the threat of the Guy Fawkes cyber attack on Facebook and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s warning about the use of Chinese-made software. Malicious hackers are everywhere these days, it seems. Dillon Beresford, a “good guy†hacker who works for security firm NSS Labs, demonstrated […]
Sometimes, going forward means going backward. After five hundred years of trying to transcend the physical world, humankind has begun to appreciate the innate genius of evolution’s distributed intelligence and put it to use in our modern lives. The name for this movement is “atavism,†the return to the ancestral. It manifests in the local […]
“This magazine is about what to do until the millennium comes. We’re talking about Total Possibilities. Radical assaults on the limits of biology, gravity and time. The end of Artificial Scarcity. The dawn of a new humanism. Highjacking technology for personal empowerment, fun and games. Flexing those synapses! Stoking those neuropeptides! Making Bliss States our […]
