The cyborg citizen
On September 15th and 16th Södertörn university college will arrange a conference on the topic The Virtual- a room without borders? .
Invited as moderator for the theme The cyborg citizen is Anders Sandberg from the Eudoxa think tank.
In this theme, the 21st century cyborg citizen will be discussed; the contemporary citizen living in a world of technological artefacts. Examples range from plastic surgery, to knowledge on the human genome, to the use of 24/7 authorities and mobile phones in everyday life. What does in it mean to be human today – and what is "human"?
Other speakers and moderators include Barry Brown from the University of Glasgow, Christer Sturmark, and Ola Larsmo.
