We need to change our relationship with a city.
Look, it is changing what you can see,
what you can hear and your habitat.
Like, the way heels pf your shoes are worn out.
A transcendental example for evolution.
A needle swinging and pointing a direction.
When this pin hole will turn into the same size,
we will meet again.

  A hallucination of sleep reveals itself.
Something is gnawing at me.
My train of thought expands,
my consciousness discharges.
I don't sleep to awake.

Through Human Augmentation, anyone can be turned into a digital cyborg, transformed. A world like science fiction, where alter egos and even merging are possible, is becoming a reality. The opportunity to think about what is the body, what is the ability, and what is humanity and self, is becoming a reality. It will come to us in the not-too-distant future.
Life is the extent to which an individual can bring about acts of initiative in society. Technology can be used to expand its scope. The way people interact with society will change, and the definition of 'what it means to be human' may change as well. We don't know what the future holds. But we can think about the interweaving of the individual and the society and where it will lead. What kind of future do we envision?
