In Chapter 2, Hayles asserts that we are currently undergoing a shift from the paradigm of presence/absence to one of pattern/randomness. She argues that though information is often perceived as a pattern, the concept of randomness is just as important to understanding information.

Bobkittens, for example, have adapted to attack larger creatures, not just the rabbits they were meant to hunt. The Children of Crake, however, appear to adhere to Crake’s exact conception of them. Of these situations, one free of randomness and the other governed by it, which is closer to the posthuman concept?
