Reviews
This groundbreaking collection of interdisciplinary meditations on the posthuman condition reminds us that we all have a stake in the shape of the digital future. The essays offer captivating and occasionally unsettling glimpses of an emerging reality that will challenge settled assumptions about the very nature of human existence, and compel us to consider our place in a new order., Why read this book? Because it dares to ask questions that are precise, substantial and necessary, when thinking about what's coming next. The future analyzed here is not mere speculation based on personal conjectures, but it manifests in the ramifications of causes and effects well rooted in the history of humankind. The future, in this sense, does not come from nowhere: it is already here., Reframing the humanist subject as a complex temporal material and a differential ecology of affects, this exciting interdisciplinary collection enables multiple entry points to new thinking in support of posthuman futures. The essays explore shared incursions of biology and technology to redefine what it means to be human in the twenty-first century and articulate non-anthropocentric perspectives with planetary implications., Reframing the humanist subject as a complex temporal material and a differential ecology of affects, this exciting interdisciplinary collection enables multiple entry points to new thinking in support of posthuman futures.
