23 twins: Immortality makes your life worthless.

Congratulations!

Unfortunately, you have arrived at 23 twins, home of absurd speculation, unsubstantiated theories, unreasonable assertions and, of course, robots.

Here, you will find art and writing which explore a wide variety of topics which are strangely linked. Or not. Some things you will encounter are: alien sex | animal consciousness | religious beliefs | body modification | hyper-history | chance | ethics | technology | biotech futurism | satire | evolution (and, of course, robots).

There are three main sections: TEXT, ART and the BLOG. You'll figure it out. There’s a shop on the way where you will be able to buy T-shirts, prints and other stuff. We plan to add sections devoted to music and video in the near future.

Reading

On Deep History and the Brain
Daniel Lord Smail

I am a Strange Loop
Douglas Hofstadter

Darwin's Dangerous Idea Daniel C. Dennet. Still the most profound book I've ever read.

The Art of Looking Sideways (Alan Fletcher) Phaidon. 533 pages of visual and mental delight. For anyone with eyes, a brain, and a sense of humour and wonder.

The Curves of Life (Theodore Andrea Cook) Dover. This book was originally published in 1914, but I keep coming back to it.

The Book of Nothing (John D. Barrow) An extraordinary way of approaching the topic of Everything. Perhaps the only way.
