Summary

"A deep dive into the similarities between science fiction studies and critical posthumanism, this book establishes a common theoretical ground between the two fields upon which currents of future-oriented thought can meet and begin to share a common language. An investigation into the everyday condition of humanity in relation to technology and our perilous situation in the Anthropocene, the book features case studies of sci-fi authors Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin and Kim Stanley Robinson, Doctor Who and the videogame Outer Wilds. Formulating a new critical paradigm which recognises the value of such works to posthumanist thought, it demonstrates that urgent discourses around our shared future are more imperative than ever"-- Provided by publisher.
