The first volume in the Future Wunderkammer series, Between Organism and Algorithm, brings together a collection of essays exploring the shifting boundaries of life as it has historically been understood. With both apprehension and audacity, humanity tinkers with—and congeals—organisms and algorithms: holobionts, chimeras, mineral-cast intelligence. The essays in this volume embrace ontological ambiguity as a site of inquiry, asking: How has the codification of life shaped life itself? Is a mind bound to biology, or can it emerge independent of its substrate? And ultimately, in an era increasingly defined by technomorphism, what will life become?
