After Human - A Critical History of Human in Science Fiction From Shelley to Le

After Human examines science fiction's complex relationship to humanism and posthumanism. Ranging over the history of the genre from Shelley's Frankenstein to the pre-cyberpunk era, it traces the many forms of the human in science fiction, and argues for science fiction as a radically - if problematically - posthuman mode of literature.
