Deck Guidebook
Posthuman Hearts reads tarot through bodies as interfaces: cybernetic integration, neural lace, synthetic beauty, memory design, consent, repair, and tenderness after the human center gives way.
Sensual, cybernetic, philosophical, and embodied; machine parts must clarify agency, care, memory, or pressure.
