Reviews

Remarkable...Grantham's views [are] refreshing... Grantham transitions rather fluently from chapter to chapter, tackling the complex yet fascinating interrelations between speculative fiction, antiheroes and the concept of transhumanism from as many perspectives as possible. --Limina: A Journal of Historical and Cultural Studies
