Найти книгу: "Our Collective Life"

Our Collective Life is a non-fiction memoir of a person diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Identity Disorder or MPD) is a condition in which two or more distinct identities are present in the one body. In our case, we are called the Collective, a group of 19 individuals (at the time of writing) sharing a body and trying to navigate our way through this one life. We each have unique personality traits and characteristics as well as differing thoughts, opinions and often even memories. To an outsider or a layperson, this book may sound like a work of fiction. However as crazy as it may sound, this is our life.

It appears as a great narration, a large story about the future of our existence, facing our entry into the Anthropocene. It is also presented as a concrete utopia with an anthropological and technical change. In this book, we proposed to show how collective intelligences stand in the middle of the coupling of ontological horizons and of the “process of bio-technical maturation”.
