The Virtual Man: An Attempt on Phantomatics
Виртуалният човек. Опит върху фантоматиката
Language: Bulgarian. Category: Literature
How does the human fit into the realm of the machine, and how do technical parameters determine literary plots? An answer to these questions can be sought in a concept that art and science continue to perceive teleologically — as a promise and a threat to the future itself.
In his book, Nikolay Genov turns to the philosophical apparatus of the writer Stanislav Lem to outline the place of man in virtual reality. For this purpose, the research combines different media (literature, cinema, video games) and locates them in the field of science fiction, a genre that captures the impulses of the possible and recreates them in the form of fiction that examines itself. But what remains constant in a world of changing algorithms, and to what extent does simulation belong to the simulated?
"The Virtual Man" draws the reader into the sharpest contemporary debates of (trans)humanism about the enhancement or perhaps the disappearance of the human.
