Abstract

This study examines the topic of the human being stuck in a transitional period between being human, transhuman, and posthuman. The focus of this article revolves around the analysis of Mike Lancaster's sequel novels "0.4" and "1.4" which depict events in a fictitious world, with the former focusing on the transformation of a conventional community into a digitally enhanced one and the latter depicting the presence of several versions of the upgraded humanity. This research employs transhuman and posthuman perspectives on selected novel excerpts that indicate the author's preoccupation with ambiguity and disobedience. Digital memory record of a diary is viewed as an instance of self-awareness that provides documentation for memory and archive which would be the only sign of the existence of a human version in this real world in contrast to the digital world.
迈克·兰卡斯特的“0.4”和“1.4”中的数字人性的不兼容版本
这项研究探讨了人类在作为人、超人类和后人类之间的过渡时期。本文的重点是分析迈克·兰卡斯特的续集小说《0.4》和《1.4》,这两部小说描绘了一个虚构世界中的事件,前者关注的是传统社区向数字增强社区的转变,后者则描绘了几个版本的升级人类的存在。这项研究在选定的小说节选中采用了超人类和后人类的视角,这些摘录表明作者对模糊性和不服从性的关注。日记的数字记忆记录被视为自我意识的一个例子,它为记忆和档案提供了文档,这将是现实世界中存在人类版本的唯一标志,与数字世界形成对比。
