[edit] REPRESENTATION OF THE POSTHUMAN
This work draws together a wide range of literature on contemporary technologies and their ethical implications. It focuses on advances in medical, reproductive, genetic and information technologies that confuse the boundaries between humans, machines and what we call nature.
Examines how advances in medical, reproductive, genetic and information technologies are currently calling into question the very meaning of 'human nature' itself; Argues that contemporary concerns for the 'posthuman' are only the latest in an enduring fascination with the boundaries between humans and their own inventions; Draws on material from myth, religion, historical literature and contemporary science fiction and social theory and is unique in its attention to the significance of religion, culture and gender in a discussion of the 'posthuman'; Unique in its overview of developments across a range of new technologies: genetics, medicine, digital and information technology; Breaks new ground in drawing together a wide range of literature on new technologies and their ethical implications
