<p>I wasn't able to download from Academia without signing up for a
paid subscription... but they seem to let me read papers
inline/html... I hope you can as well, I'm guessing that is how
Glen read it, maybe others? <br>
</p>
<p>I feel like a cheapskate not wanting to pay the paywall, but it
feels like there are *so many* to choose from... a little too
much like streaming movie subscriptions? Once it was just
Netflix, then Hulu, then Amazon Prime, then HBO, Showtime, Roku,
AppleTV, etc. ad infinitum... <br>
</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, I'm finding Academia's recommender to be
pretty good, and the free-read-inline means I actually read (or at
least skim) a lot of what they recommend... Maybe they deserve
my $149/year?</p>
<p>It looks like this was Raoul's Dissertation and it looks like he
is still at Heidelberg U. where he matriculated.... I may
penetrate *their* arcane website to find it from the direct
source... <br>

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>
<br>
@EricS Fermi Paradox indeed!<br>
