The question Are We Human? is both urgent and ancient. Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley offer a multilayered exploration of the intimate relationship between human and design and rethink the philosophy of design in a multi-dimensional exploration from the very first tools and ornaments to the constant buzz of social media. The average day involves the experience of thousands of layers of design that reach to outside space but also reach deep into our bodies and brains. Even the planet itself has been completely encrusted by design as a geological layer. There is no longer an outside to the world of design. Colomina’s and Wigley’s field notes offer an archaeology of the way design has gone viral and is now bigger than the world. They range across the last few hundred thousand years and the last few seconds to scrutinize the uniquely plastic relation between brain and artifact. A vivid portrait emerges. Design is what makes the human. It becomes the way humans ask questions and thereby continuously redesign themselves.

"Such a clever review of contemporary/near future topics that are pertaining to design (and more generally to society). Ecology, artificial intelligence, anthropocene, machine learning and much more.... those "big words" get an open-minded overview (with a little bit more about architecture than design, indeed). Short chapters, lots of examples provide a lively flow of thoughts that are never too abstract. Very good book to be recommended."
