The NY Times is running an op-ed by Bruce Sterling entitled "Olympic
Engineering."

"This is the catwalk to the posthuman future. Olympic athletes are just
fighting our battles first, mocking it up in a cleansing social
ritual. If they try to slow down, an eager society will just take a
route around them. They may remain honest to their oldest traditions -
but if they do, they risk becoming sentimental antiques."
