In the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital, smart and algorithmic technologies, it is claimed, may be fundamentally transforming ‘the human’. They may, that is, be radically re-mediating human senses, habits and capacities. In Thumbelina (2015), for example, the late French philosopher and media theorist Michel Serres argues that millennials are not only the first generation to experience the internet and related forms of digital media in their adolescence, they have also been comprehensively ‘[re]-formatted by the media’, and, thus, ‘no longer have the same body or behavior’ as previous generations (2015: 5-6).
