		The public library, unlike the bottom-line-driven superstore or corporate media, is precisely where citizens should expect to find challenging, vital, unusual, and unorthodox books, magazines, videos, and CDs, works both old and new that may never make "bestseller" lists, but nonetheless, satisfy human cravings for knowledge and excitement and beauty.

		My argument will be that while technology threatens democracy, community, individual sovereignty, and other values many of us hold in common, it also provides the potential for a positive reconstruction of social life and an enhancement of human life.

	Hoosier Logic: FOR PEOPLE WHAT GOT BRAINS.: MotherFaulkner!
		Indeed, Paz’s idea that “solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition” would relate a hyper-awareness of the prolific number of other living humans; for him as well as Faulkner and Malraux, this sensibility would be meaningless without the knowledge that the people next door are washing their dishes (195).
		In Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying and Malraux’s La condition humaine (translated by Haakon M. Chevalier as Man’s Fate), to harness this aspect of human nature—isolation—is to be a hero.
		In As I Lay Dying, Faulkner is held to the words of his characters for the description of the outside world, while in La condition humaine, Malraux is able to describe it through the voice of a third-person omnipotent narrator.

	The New Atlantis - A Journal of Technology and Society
		Both the optimists and the pessimists assume that biotechnology will abolish human nature in the quest for a “posthuman” condition.
		As long as the human beings using biotechnology do so in the service of their natural desires, their technical means might be new, but their moral ends will be rooted in the enduring desires of human nature.
		To believe that we are heading for a “posthuman” future—where human nature as we know it will be abolished or transformed—one must accept the premise that our own biotechnical inventions are powerful enough and subtle enough to transform the complex biological natures that define who we are and what we desire.

	EDGE: A BIOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN NATURE
		Anyone else having some claim to insights into the human condition is seen as a philistine, and possibly as immoral if they are seen as debunking the pretensions of those in the arts and the humanities.
		The connections I draw between human nature and political systems in my new book, for example, were prefigured in the debates during the Enlightenment and during the framing of the American Constitution.
		Ornamentation, human scale, green space, gardens, and comfortable social meeting places were written out of the cities because the planners had a theory of human nature that omitted human esthetic and social needs.
