I took Kat T. out to lunch today to celebrate her birthday (Happy Birthday Katarina!) and one of the things we discussed was “The Unmodified Man”, which she finished reading recently.  One thing that I mentioned, more or less in passing, is that the main character Theseus is a “baseline” for neohumans, and since Theseus is “unmodified” all of his “non-human” characteristics are, by definition, characteristics shared by all neohumans.  Which makes him useful as object demonstration of neohumaness in the cultures of the Nexus.
