But can these identities be as set and static as they appear to be if they’re borne of a city that moves and buzzes so vibrantly? Based on what we’ve discussed here, it should be possible for us to abandon the spaces of identity that we’ve built for ourselves. This reversal would be achieved with the same function that’s used to produce this issue in the first place: the use of our subjective minds to construct human systems – playful systems – in a meaningless world, rewriting the rules. “The posthuman subject is an amalgam, a collection of heterogenous components, a material-informational entity whose boundaries undergo continuous construction and reconstruction” (Hayles 3). After all, identity is just a game we play. And, sometimes, it might just take the games we play to show us that.
