Subjectrights in the Cyborg Age
Saturday, October 20, Angell Hall (Aud D), 4:00-5:00
Steve Mann
Informed by twenty years experience with wearable
computers, Steve Mann will address some of the
philosophical issues of being one with the machine,
focusing on the notion of Subjectrights, in which the
individual can operate as if he or she were a large
corporation. Mann will also discuss self-corporatization,
self-bureaucratization, and self-demotion as means for
dealing with bureaucratic organizations, as well as his
research results in social responsibility and social
desponsibility. You may like to read Can Humans Being
