Reviews

Towards a Posthuman Imagination provides the reader with a solid reflection on the role and evolution of non-human figures in sf, and it constitutes an excellent source for the scholar, a fine manual for the sf devotee, and an ideal textbook for a potential course on science fiction in general and on posthumanism in particular. (Alberto Iozzia, Science Fiction Studies, 47:2 (July 2020))
