Description
xThis book explores the rich variety of non-human figures in contemporary science fiction literature and film and considers what these figures tell us about our notions of humankind. The posthuman ultimately comes to serve as the symbol of a revolutionary vision of humanity that embraces a new, more humble way of being and living.
