The Fourth Discontinuity

The Fourth Discontinuity

After many moons of hard work, I present my first official full length mix. (I'm not sure exactly what that means, but its the only one I would hand out) This is a themed mix based on the ever-present concept of man and machine merging. It starts off all about machines, then people emulating machines, and then takes many intriguing turns from human to machine and back - then the merging of the two. Finally, the ending is ever-so-human and will most likely surprise you. It's a rollercoaster ride on a beam of light through a very optimistic prism about the future: celebrating, not shying away from the inevitable weaving of human and machine. That idea that we are now crossing the "Fourth Discontinuity" comes from an incredible book called The Fourth Discontinuity by Bruce Mazlish, and which suggests that there is a convergence occurring between human beings and technology, and indeed between the "natural" and "artificial" world.
