Book synopsis
Peter Mahon provides an overview of posthumanism, examining the intoxicating--and often troubling--entanglements of humans, animals and technology in science, society and culture. Mahon explores how key scientific advances in information technology and genetics have made us and society posthuman, and how certain strands in art and philosophy continue to shape how we understand these advances. Central to analysis of posthumanism is an understanding of technology as a pharmakon: a substance that is both a poison and a cure. In the light of this analysis, Mahon offering a concise and accessible introduction posthumanism, and considers our posthuman future.
