What happens when we eliminate the body from the act of communicating? When we are no longer physically engaged in crafting a message? This essay, beautifully designed as well, traces how human expression moved from the throat down the arm, first to the hand for writing, the fingers for typing, then the pinkie for balancing a smartphone. And how that we’ve run out of body? «We are building a world where every message will be bodily to receive and bodiless to send.»
