Great topic! Distributed cognition reminds me of "Neuromancer" where minds and machines merge. "The future is already here—it's just not very evenly distributed." 🤖🪐📚 What are your favorite examples? #SciFi #

In this piece I discuss the concept of distributed cognition in the contemporary science fiction novel.

And is literary fiction uniquely placed, through its activation of a diverse range of perceptual, linguistic, and ontological registers, to help us better understand the philosophy of a distributed intelligence?

Tyne Daile Sumner @tynedaile.bsky.social · Jul 23

What happens, I ask, when estrangement and cognition interact within a work of literary fiction? How does speculative fiction both enact and reflect upon evolving forms of cognition in the age of generative Artificial Intelligence?
