We certainly do need to change our bodies and ourselves, and in perhaps a much more radical way than the cyberpunk authors imagine... The will to be against really needs a body that is incapable of adapting to family life, to factory discipline, to the regulations of a traditional sex life, and so forth.  (If you find you body refusing these "normal" modes of life, don't despair--realize your gift!).
Empire--Antonio Negri & Michael Hardt
