From: "Hartwin Alfred Gebhardt" <hag-AT-iafrica.com> Date: Sun, 10 Dec 1995 01:14:35 +0200 Subject: -->-->---AT- superman was here (:->) I could have composed a poem and asked for comments, but that's been done, so here a silly season fantasy to break the silence. Let's go with the fin de siecle and imagine for a moment that the (second) coming of the superman is imminent. Could he/she/it be someone fusing with the add-on capabilities our computer age will offer in the not too distant future? Will man fuse with machine and thus become superman in a way not anticipated? Will the great unwashed masses be left behind to inherit a decrepit earth while we, the techno-elite, will conquer the stars? WAS NIETZSCHE A SCIENCE FICTION WRITER? Will the human race as we know it today die out, to be superceded by a race of bionic supermen residing in energy webs and neuron grids? Hmmm? hg hag-AT-iafrica.com --- from list nietzsche-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
