Summary/Abstract: With a pastiche title reminiscent of novelist Javier Marias’s Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me, this article sets out to compare two extremes of “identity, difference and memory”: Western trans-humanism and Australian Aboriginal Dreaming. The main assumption is that the two have drawn on surprisingly similar concepts(immortality/eternity, universality/ubiquity), and yet their approach to the individual and to self-management sets them wide apart. While avoiding idealising either of them, the article does plead for a “return of knowledge” from the formerly colonial space to the formerly colonising world.
