Andrew Pilsch See Content Related To: All Research Teaching Blog Close All About I am an Associate Professor at Texas A&M in the English Department . My current research project is a media archaeology of computer bugs. My first book focuses on the rhetoric of transhumanism . I am broadly interested in rhetorical constructions of fate and human destiny in response to the radical technological changes of the digital. My research and pedagogical work touches on facets of digital rhetoric, digital humanities, emerging media, and technical communications. View my ORCID Profile View my Amazon Author Page View my Google Scholar Profile View my Dotfiles Transhumanism Published Book My first book project (published by University of Minnesota Press, Fall 2017 ) explores the rhetoric of the transhumanism movement with regards specifically to its Utopian content. Order Transhumanism on Amazon! Transhumanism: Evolutionary Futurism and the Human Technologies of Utopia Order Transhumanism on Amazon! This project develops the rhetorical mode of âevolutionary futurismâ and the rhetoric of the transhumanist movement. While transhumanism is usually dismissed by scholars of rhetoric, technology, and culture as a fringe movement with limited scope, my project instead argues that âtranshumanismâ is a name for a much more pervasive rhetorical mode that considers technology as a vector for evolutionary change operating on society, consciousness, and biology. I call this rhetorical mode âevolutionary futurism,â and, in tracing this formation throughout 20th and 21st century culture, I suggest that transhumanism, rather than a fringe movement of renegade scientists and philosophers, is actually a postmodern form of Utopia in line with Fredric Jamesonâs discussion of the concept in Postmodernism . My book then traces the rhetorical, Utopian mode I call âevolutionary futurismâ through a number of important moments in the 20th and 21st centuries. Chapters Summaries The first chapter considers the origin of evolutionary futurism in continental modernism. Specifically, the chapter traces out the reception of Nietzscheâs übermensch as a figure for radical evolution rather than enlightened self-interest. Theosophist P.D. Ouspensky and Futurist Mina Loy are considered as guides for this particular uptake of Nietzsche. The second chapter explores evolutionary futurist rhetoric in pre-WWII American science fiction during the âsuperman boom,â my term for the period immediately before and during the start of the war in which John W. Campbell solicited a considerable mass of stories about genetically evolved superhumans for his magazines. Concomitant to this publishing fad, SF fan culture also became intersted in actualizing this evolutionary futurist in its calls for an evolved âfannationalism.â The third chapter is about the role of suffering and hedonism in an evolutionary futurism. Questioning the dominant transhuman rhetorical mode in which evolving beyond the human will be blissful, I explore the thinking of Teilhard de Chardin, the Jesuit who first coined the term âtranshumanâ in its modern usage, as a model for an evolutionary vanguard not tied to dubious notions of winner-take-all evolution. The fourth chapter asks after aesthetics and evolutionary futurism. In the realm of high art, I consider the impact of Natasha Vita-Moreâs manifesto for transhuman art and the work of Arakawa and Gins, who adopt principles of evolutionary futurist rhetoric to art and architecture. I juxtapose this aesthetic with the âtranshuman inaesthetic,â my term for the often bland and beige futurism of transhumanists such as Raymond Kurzweil and Zoltan Istvan. Finally, I conclude by arguing that this inaesthetic blinds many transhumanists to the evolutionary futurist aspects of online âlow artâ movements, such as meme culture. The book concludes by discussing accelerationism and xenofeminism as recent examples of imagining an evolutionary futurist vanguard politics. CV View my CV.

While numerous works explore computer hacking, my project is interested in accidental computer failure: unintended consequences that can have dangerous and far-reaching effects. I uncover that the accident is integral to software while mitigating this accidental nature has radically altered the landscape of contemporary culture. Planned chapters trace the software accident through the early mathematical foundations of computing, the 1990s emergence of home computing and the Internet, the collapse of post-structural thought and the related rise of infrastructure studies, recent changes in programming practices resulting from big data, and current discussions about the programmatic nature of reality itself.

Table of Contents Online at Routledge Transhumanism: Evolutionary Futurism and the Human Technologies of Utopia Six-Chapter Manuscript, University of Minnesota (2017) â This book explores the rhetorical history of âevolutionary futurism,â a twentieth century Utopian rhetorical mode associating advancing telecommunications technologies with biological evolution to suggest near-future radical shifts in human existence and cognition. Tracing this rhetoric of transhumanism, chapters explore the evolutionary futurism of theosophy, 1940s science fiction, Raymond Kurzweil, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. In addition to a theoretical introduction, the book also contains an extended discussion of contemporary digital aesthetics as transhuman vectors of evolutionary overcoming.
