Book recs

Welcome to Posthuman Fridays, our weekly series dedicated to spotlighting novels that inspire, challenge, and inform our research on posthumanism, science fiction, ecology, ethics, and the evolving boundaries of the human. 📚✨

Each Friday, we highlight a book that resonates with the themes we explore as a research group—whether through speculative narratives, philosophical provocations, biotechnological futures, or innovative literary forms. From cult sci-fi classics to contemporary experimental fiction, these recommendations offer gateways into the questions shaping 21st-century humanities.

Browse the collection, discover new reads, and join us as we rethink what stories about the “more-than-human” can teach us. 🌱🤖🧬
