Este ensayo está concebido como un recorrido literario en el que la técnica y el ingeniero (su «sumo sacerdote», como dijo Oswald Spengler) son los protagonistas de su paisaje narrativo. Un recorrido que se inicia en el siglo xix en compañía de autores como Julio Verne, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Joseph Conrad, Walt Whitman y Benito Pérez Galdós, continúa en el xx con Thomas Mann, Robert Musil, Andrei Platónov, E. I. Zamiátin y otros autores contemporáneos como Max Frisch, Jesús López Pacheco, Juan Benet y Gay Talese, y finaliza con relatos recientes de Julio Llamazares, Annie Michaels, Maylis de Kerangal y Francesco Pecoraro. Los relatos escogidos en este ensayo reflejan la mirada de sus autores sobre la ingeniería y los ingenieros, en los que la cultura técnica imprimió una identidad fundada en una nueva subjetividad y valores que surgieron ligados a esa profesión, y cómo se han expresado a lo largo del tiempo: de héroes del progreso

"This timely book examines the rise of posthumanism as both a material condition and a developing philosophical-ethical project in the age of cloning, gene engineering, organ transplants and implants. Nayar first maps the political and philosophical critiques of traditional humanism, revealing its exclusionary and 'speciesist' politics that position the human as a distinctive and dominant life form. He then contextualizes the posthumanist vision which, drawing upon biomedical, engineering and techno-scientific studies, concludes that human consciousness is shaped by its co-evolution with other life forms, and our human form inescapably influenced by tools and technology. Finally the book explores posthumanism's roots in disability studies, animal studies and bioethics to underscore the constructed nature of 'normalcy' in bodies, and the singularity of species and life itself. As this book powerfully demonstrates, posthumanism marks a radical reassessment of the human as constituted by symbiosis, assimilation, difference and dependence upon and with other species. Mapping the terrain of these far-reaching debates, Posthumanism will be an invaluable companion to students of cultural studies and modern and contemporary literature."--page 4 of cover.
