Here's my latest positive hit from Academia
Countdown to Extinction? - Posthumanism in Science Fiction

https://www.academia.edu/2061036/Countdown_to_Extinction_Posthumanism_in_Science_Fiction
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!
