Exploring the intricate ties between science fiction, humanism, and posthumanism, this book delves into the genre's evolution from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the pre-cyberpunk period. It highlights the diverse representations of humanity within science fiction and posits that the genre serves as a profoundly posthuman literary mode, despite its complexities.
