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die out, to be superceded by a race of bionic supermen residing in energy 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?
