" . . . will draw a wide readership from the ranks of literary critics, film scholars, science studies scholars and the growing legion of 'literature and science' researchers. It should be among the essentials in a posthumanist toolbox." --Richard Doyle
Automatic teller machines, castrati, lesbians, The Terminator: all participate in the profound technological, representation, sexual, and theoretical changes in which bodies are implicated. Posthuman Bodies addresses new interfaces between humans and technology that are radically altering the experience of our own and others' bodies.

Its sheer breadth of scope makes it unlike the usual science, technology, and society texts. Since both the body and technoscience are such potent sites of recent academic investigation, Posthuman Bodies will no doubt draw a wide readership from the ranks of literary critics, film scholars, science studies scholars, and the growing legion of literature and science researchers.
