  1. Posthuman Prototypes Debate their own Design

  2. “I eat only electricity.”

  3. “The news media wants to know all about my sex life!” 

  4. “I like to think of it as a partnership.  The human cells do what they do best.  I do what I do best.  Together, we make something far greater than either of us, alone, could ever be.”

  5. A population of several hundred creatures is created within a supercomputer, and each creature is tested for their ability to perform a given task, such the ability to swim in a simulated water environment. Those that are most successful survive, and their virtual genes containing coded instructions for their growth, are copied, combined, and mutated to make offspring for a new population. The new creatures are again tested, and some may be improvements on their parents. As this cycle of variation and selection continues, creatures with more and more successful behaviors can emerge. The creatures shown are results from many independent simulations in which they were selected for swimming, walking, jumping, following, and competing for control of a green cube.
