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!
