Posthuman Blues, Vol. I is first volume of the edited version of the popular weblog maintained by author Mac Tonnies from 2003 until his tragic death in 2009. Tonnies’ blog was a pastiche of his original fiction, reflections on his day-to-day life, trenchant observations of current events, and thoughts on an eclectic range of material he culled from the Internet. What resulted was a remarkably broad portrait of a thoughtful man and the complex times in which he lived, rendered with intelligence, imagination, and a wickedly absurdist sense of humor.
Mac Tonnies was an American author and blogger with an interest in cosmology, nonhuman intelligence, UFOs, consciousness studies, and futurism. Through his blog Posthuman Blues, he developed a a "small, but devoted" readership as described by The New York Times in a 2011 article. He also developed the "cryptoterrestrial hypothesis." suggesting that some UFO and alien sightings might be of potentially unknown but earthly species in origin. He died of cardiac arrhythmia in October 2009.
