I saw the book in the County
Librarys used book sale
I was late to the salehad
honestly forgotten until early afternoon the sale began at 9
I couldnt believe a first edition
hardbound DeLillo book was still on the rolling rack
Point Omega
in it DeLillo wrote:
What are we?
I don’t know.
We’re a crowd, a swarm. We think
in groups, travel in armies. Armies carry the gene for self-destruction. One
bomb is never enough. The blur of technology, this is where the oracles plot
their wars. Because now comes the introversion. Father Teilhard knew this, the
omega point. A leap out of our biology. Ask yourself this question. Do we have
to be human forever. Consciousness is exhausted. Back now to inorganic matter.
That is what we want. We want to be stones in a field. (pgs
52 53)
some days later while stopping by to pick up
a held-copy of Kazuo Ishiguros The Buried Giant(Ishiguro had won the Nobel
Peace Prize for Literature I hadnt read anything by him an figured it was
about time) among the librarys NEW
releases I found a copy of Yuval Noah Hararis Homo Deus: A Brief History of
Tomorrow(if that title alone didnt make you pause an pick it updrop an eye in
it you were dead) he had written Sapiens
first I knew of it though hadnt read
it Sapiens is about the first 70,000
years our evolution from homo erectus(if you didnt buy
into evolution youre ignorant)
Harari wrote:
The upgrading of humans into gods
may follow any of three paths: biological engineering, cyborg engineering and
the engineering of non-organic beings. (pg 43)

the engineering of non-organic
beings
