The first part of the book, ‘Bioinformational Philosophy and Theory’, starts with our chapter ‘Biodigital Philosophy, Technological Convergence, and Postdigital Knowledge Ecologies’ (Peters et al. 2021a). The next chapter is John Reader’s ‘Biodigital Becoming’, which argues that most responses to rapid developments in the field of biotechnology so far ‘depend upon traditional understanding of human reason and autonomy which assume that sound judgement and appropriate regulation and governance can prevent any potential harmful impacts of these’. According to Reader, this is clearly not the case ‘so new and expanded interpretations of both are now required’. In the next chapter, ‘Reconceiving the Digital Network: From Selves to Cells’, Mark Johnson, Elizabeth Maitland, John Torday, and Sebastian Fiedler trace the historical development of modern conceptions of ‘network’ and question ‘some of the assumptions made about networked digital phenomena and their relation to biological and phenomenological processes’. In contrast to the topological node-arc model of networks, they argue that ‘networks arise from evolutionary biological processes which are fundamentally oriented around boundary preservation rather than “connection”’.
