I am guessing that when Techno-Sapien surges through the Milky Way, she/he
(not Ver-sorry Egan Fans), they will still refer to themselves as "human" or
humanity. They may be Johhny-5 robots, or Minksy Intelligent Dust Motes, or
X-Men, or radio-telepathic groups, or happy clones, or super-networked
personalities, or even morons like us; or even a Heinz-57 variety of species.
They will still feel "human" for a long time to come. I Think.
