520 |a Death of the PostHuman undertakes a series of critical encounters with the legacy of what had come to be known as 'theory,' and its contemporary supposedly post-human aftermath. There can be no redemptive post-human future in which the myopia and anthropocentrism of the species finds an exit and manages to emerge with ecology and life.

Death of the PostHuman argues for a twenty-first century deconstruction of ecological and seemingly post-human futures.
