All of the pros and cons I’ve just listed, however, merely highlight what has already happened to us; we are, like it or not, already quite far down the road of posthumanism, so we don’t really have a ‘choice’ about whether or not we should become posthuman. We are already posthumans living in a posthuman world.
Opting out of this world is difficult. It’s certainly possible that one could walk away from it all, like Christopher McCandless, and pull the plug on one’s technological and communication dependence, go into the wild and try to live ‘off grid’.
McCandless didn’t make it.
