Posthumans, Transhumans, and the Sensorial Nexus
摘要
Posthumans, Transhumans, and the Sensorial Nexus introduces the book’s central conceptual contribution: the Sensorial Nexus. Building on the diagnosis of postmodern fragmentation, this chapter argues that we now inhabit its operational aftermath, in which digital infrastructures, algorithmic governance, and predictive systems no longer merely circulate representations but organise salience at the level of perception itself. The Sensorial Nexus names a condition in which affect, attention, and relevance are pre-structured prior to reflection, such that judgement increasingly unfolds within environments already engineered for anticipation. What is at stake is not the disappearance of freedom, but the compression of the interval in which deviation, hesitation, and originality can stabilise.
