Algorithm Human – temp

ALGORITHM HUMAN

Algorithm n.: a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end.

Human n.: a member of the genus Homo and especially of the species H. sapiens.

An anthology series exploring how tradition and culture (our algorithm) has ill-prepared us (humans) for current unleashing and embracing of smart technologies (science reality).

Set in a world light-seconds pre, post and current of now (depending on station in life), Algorithm Human brings to the forefront the evolution of technology deployed by us on us and our handing off of power to shape us to them.

Over the last fifteen years, technology has slingshot us into a now that is unrecognizable and incomprehensible by a growing many. If the definition of “intelligent” continues unmolested, the next fifteen years will have us ALL blissfully understanding, happy, free. Because you will be compulsed to be.
