Merle -
Steve, I can't open this posthumanism. paper. Please resend. Thanks
so much. Happy Holidays everyone!
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?
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...
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?
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...

Here's my latest positive hit from Academia
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!
