I could rattle on for pages about my take on this, but the short version 
is that I found this *very* readable and helped me appreciate the role 
of postmodernism and it's relationship to posthumanism cast in the 
backdrop of a century (and a half) of scientifiction/romance 
writing/speculating.

Oh yeh, and also with the backdrop of the impending extinction-by-excess 
arc humans are on as we argue over when to *start* the Anthropocene when 
it is likely it is also about to *end* in the shortest-lived geological 
epoch of all time?!

@EricS Fermi Paradox indeed!
