About
There is an ongoing investigation of posthumanism and its re-shaping of human society taking place in speculative fiction. In Thomas Pynchon's V. and William Gibson's Neuromancer , this conversation can best be analyzed through constructions of the animate and inanimate in the motif of the cyborg's destabilization of binary oppositions, and the embedded nature of humans within their environment. Posthumanism has a continuing influence on speculative fiction, and though the conversation is continuing through present day, V.'s pessimistic and Neuromancer's optimistic stance on posthumanist theory are strong initial positions that are under constant development.
