What is posthumanism and why does it matter? This reader offers an introduction to the ways in which humanism’s belief in the natural supremacy of the Family of Man has been called into question at different moments and from different theoretical positions.

What happens when critical theory meets Hollywood cinema? What links posthumanism to science fiction? Posthumanism addresses these and other questions in an attempt to come to terms with one of the most pressing issues facing contemporary society.
