Reviews

Pilsch's book offers a positive outlook of the posthumanist ethos and a nuanced consideration of transhumanism, contributing an important and lucid analysis of the movement's evolution and a theoretical engagement with transhumanism's rhetoric that will prove fascinating to anyone thinking about technology and the human limit. -Project Muse I know of no other work that provides such a detailed and penetrating analysis of a cultural trend-transhumanism-that promises, like it or not, to be of increasing importance in the near future. -Jeff Pruchnic, author of Rhetoric and Ethics in the Cybernetic Age: The Transhuman Condition
