About this title

Synopsis

This book asks what it is to be human as we enter into the millennium. Specters, cyborgs, clones, and aliens—contemporary representations of the inhuman hybrid—seem more various, multiform, and pressing than ever. Increasingly, the blurred distinction between human and inhuman and the attendant technization of social life raises a series of opportunities for cultural analysis. In the process of mapping a cultural genealogy that stretches from Romanticism to Neuromancer, this volume examines the impact of science and technology on culture and representation--past, present and future--and resituates the inhuman as a significant contemporary conceptual motif as it resonates across and within the philosophical trajectory of modernity.
