| Summary: | This study offers a critical history of the 'human' in SF. By examining a range of SF works from 1818 to the 1970's, it seeks to answer some key questions: What role does technology play in defining what it means to be--or not to be--human? How do these writers understand the relationship between humanity and the rest of nature? And how can we use SF to re-examine our ethical position towards the non-human world and move to more egalitarian understandings of the human subject?--Page 4 of cover. |
