Subjectrights in the Cyborg Age



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.
