This book asks what it is to be human as we enter into the millennium. Specters, cyborgs, clones, and aliens--contemporary representations of the inhuman hybrid--seem more various, multiform, and pressing than ever. Increasingly, the blurred distinction between human and inhuman and the attendant technization of social life raises a series of opportunities for cultural analysis. In the process of mapping a cultural genealogy that stretches from Romanticism to Neuromancer, this volume examines the impact of science and technology on culture and representation--past, present and future--and resituates the inhuman as a significant contemporary conceptual motif as it resonates across and within the philosophical trajectory of modernity.
