‘Through the use of film and a myriad of other cultural artefacts this wonderfully readable text positions disability as the quintessential posthuman subject and disabled people as key players in debates about identity and new technologies’. Professor Dan Goodley, University of Sheffield ‘Alas, I have no space to say more than that this is a beautifully produced book both as an aesthetic object and as a thought-provoking text. Together with its compelling scholarship, the reading experience of Murray’s Disability and the Posthuman could scarcely be bettered.’Margrit Shildrick, Lambda 'Murray makes a strong case that to understand modern film, literature, and contemporary society, people who have not thought much about disability studies should do so ... Murray's book provides many helpful ideas for this exploration.' Arthur Blaser, Disability Studies Quarterly
