Posthuman Bodies

by Judith Halberstam (Editor), Ira Livingston

..". 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.

GOD I do not like that cover art.

[Shawn Simmons]

Goodreads doesn’t have Queer Art or Failure (???) so logging this for my own peace of mind—2.5 stars.

There are secrets in this book.

[Ceilidh · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lots of words for not enough substance. Only 'Identity in Oshkosh' was really worth the read.
