I have not the faith in the "Nöosphere, a collective consciousness created by the deepening interaction of human minds" that Jamais Cascio has. I still prefer to rely on Donna Haraway, "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century," in Simians, Cyborgs and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (New York; Routledge, 1991), pp.149-181.
