Countdown to Extinction? - Posthumanism in Science Fiction<br>

<br>
I could rattle on for pages about my take on this, but the short version <br>
is that I found this *very* readable and helped me appreciate the role <br>
of postmodernism and it's relationship to posthumanism cast in the <br>
backdrop of a century (and a half) of scientifiction/romance <br>
writing/speculating.<br>
<br>
Oh yeh, and also with the backdrop of the impending extinction-by-excess <br>
arc humans are on as we argue over when to *start* the Anthropocene when <br>
it is likely it is also about to *end* in the shortest-lived geological <br>
epoch of all time?!<br>
